Blogging in November: Day 8 (part 1)

I missed yesterday's blogging prompt (mostly because I couldn't think of any other recs other than the ones I posted on the fourth so I figured that I'd just pop in to say hi to everyone. I'm in the middle of the last chapter of Baba Yaga's Children, which has been delayed due to a) work (from which I am taking a vacation day today), b) technology woes, and c) my inability to finish things. But I know exactly what happens in this chapter so in theory, I just need to keep at it. I think I'll have it out on Monday, if not sooner.

Then I need to figure out what I want to work on next. I'm trying to decide between going back to Rhapsody in Blue (my Agent Carter piece) or Child of the Wolf (the Avengers/Teen Wolf crossover). I'm planning to tackle the next part of the Widow's Tale series (tentatively called Old Soldiers as it is, after all, about soldiers who are rather old) during the Christmas break. I need to let that installment percolate a little bit.

blogging in november: day 8b (the music one)

Post a song that makes you want to write. (Or gets you in the mood to read All Of The Fanfic.)

I tend to write to music that has no words; that way I don’t get distracted. My all-time favourite is the cello music of Zoe Keating,who is probably my favourite instrumentalist of all time.

One piece from her most recent album:

Around Christmas I tend to whip out the Charlie Brown Christmas album and play that on repeat for a few weeks. Try this link: http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/A+Charlie+Brown+Christmas/147388

Other days I stick with the analog world and listen to my local Classic Rock station. Fun fact, my favourite DJ on that station is Sam Ferris, who once upon a time played Ellen Harvelle on Supernatural (also shot in Vancouver). She has a great radio presence.
