I've just finished reading Beastly by Alex Flinn, seeing that how everyone commented (on the trailer on youtube) that the book is far better than the movie. The book was entertaining, but I don't exactly find it to be that awesome like some people said it is. Maybe it's because I'm beginning to grow out of YA novels.
NEway, after reading the book, I decided to watch the trailer again (to decide whether or not I'd check out the movie). And then, I just have a sudden love for the trailer's song -- Pixie Lott's Broken Arrow. (Yes, dumb me for not loving it the first time I saw the trailer).
As I was singing along (in my heart, of course) with the lyrics printed on my laptop's screen, I made a silent squeal. The lyrics...it's as if...it's written specially for the heroine in my new novel (title yet to be fixed)!! I don't think anyone would understand my excitement, though. Let's just say that I find my inspirations (mostly) from songs, and having a song that depicts EXACTLY the character in my novel, it helps me to focus (I always tend to "forget" about the character's personality/feelings). I've always been on the look out for songs like this. There were some that depicts 60-70% of my characters/story, but never 100%.
With this song, it's 100%. It's P-E-R-F-E-C-T.
The lines that best depict my heroine's feelings are these:
What do you do when your heart's in two places?
You feel great but you're torn inside.
You feel love but you just can't embrace it,
When you found the right one at the wrong time.
So, this should give you a hint on what's going on (generally) in my new novel. Have only finished 4 chapters so far. 4 short chapters. Another hint >> the story takes place after the events in Blood Moon (hopefully someone has been reading it *fingers crossed*), so you can say it's sort of like a sequel. Sort of.
Here's the official MV to Pixie Lott's song:
