You ever hear a song that gives you all sorts of motivation to do something? Anything? Everything?
That happens to me a lot. Right now it's Rise Against (a very good band if you're into a little bit harder music). It amps me up, makes me want to be productive. But what can I do? I can write. Okay, what do I write? I've got this project and this project and this one over here, but I don't feel drawn to any of those right now. Okay, what about a new story? I really don't need to do that until I finish one I'm working on already. Alright, then. Draw. Drawing? I haven't drawn in forever. Too bad I don't have any homework to do, or I could get all that done. Well, you could start reading up for your research project, or working on your IRB application. Dude, I haven't gotten a day off all semester. I need to do something for fun.
And that, dear friends, is what's running through my head right now. Heh, that didn't go exactly like I planned it. But then again, when does anything we write? When does any story, any paper, project, poem, or article ever turn out the way we expect it?
It's absolutely amazing to me how music can set the tone, change the mood, completely amp up or calm down a person listening to it. Bring up memories, good or bad, and provoke deep thought.
Just thought I'd share these thoughts, as I prep my fingertips for the insane amount of writing I'm about to do. Here goes nothing.
Love Always,
Kristin
