My Character's Love Songs

So I'm in a romance mood since I've had an overpowering urge to work on KISAN. KISAN (that's the acronym for the title, not the actual title) is an idea I've had lurking in my brain for several months now. It's one of those ideas that stays in my brain even after I write it down on my list -- the best kind. Also since I'm so indecisive about which WIP is going to be my next one, I'm stopping teaser tuesdays for me until I figure it out. It's just not fair for me to be posting a teaser from a different WIP every week when I may never finish it. This brings me to the topic of the week...

I have a confession to make. When I have a guy I like (or liked), they usually have a theme song. It's a song that makes me think of them every time I hear it. (Don't look at me like that, I'm not weird!)

So today I decided to do the same thing for my character's relationships. So here are the love songs that most represent my characters. Oh, btw, most of these songs are Taylor Swift songs. I'm aware that some people do not like Taylor. I am not one of those people. (Yeah, I'm going through a Taylor Swift phase again.)

Claudia/Erik -- Love Story by Taylor Swift

Leandro/Claudia -- Picture to Burn by Taylor Swift

Hannah/Michael -- You're Not Sorry by Taylor Swift

Hannah/Robbie -- Teardrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift and then Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood (no, she didn't destroy his truck. Though it's seriously tempting to go back and fix that...)

Hannah/Randy -- Fearless by Taylor Swift

Maria/Erik -- The Best Day by Taylor Swift

Katie/David -- Change by Taylor Swift

Yeah I was listening to her Fearless CD while I wrote this. Which is why most of these songs are off it. So if your character's had a romance theme song, what would it be?

I love Taylor Swift. I like her a lot more before she got involved with all that Disney shenanagins, but I still like her a lot.

As for Holly and Brady's love song... hmm.

Maybe

1.) Even Now by Dashboard Confessional
2.) You Found Me by the Fray
3.) Everywhere by Michelle Branch

I think those because those songs describe the path Holly took to realize how much she really loved Brady (he has always loved her, and was waiting for her to realize that)

Fun post! ;)

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
