You might have seen my Instagram posts about my writing progress, and that I finally caught up! It will take more work to get the big goal of 50k by May. That’s most of the book there, plus or minus another 20,000 words. That would be it, the first book of Red Letters actually ready. A dream of over 8 years finally in reach with an accountable motivation pushing me too. Except, to focus on the work, to make my 2,000 words a day, while working and trying to survive… something needs to be swapped on the priority ladder.

Instead of spending the better part of 2 days on these music posts, along with playing the #WIPTunes game on Twitter, I plan on recapping the music here. Just like I do at month’s end, but in an easier to listen to fashion. Amazing music that I don’t own rights to, but hey, you still get to know my writing and me, plus get insider info on the book playlists. 

What can I say? Call me inspired by #CharactersTell host @m_arbanassi (on Twitter) Manuel Arbanassi self-publishing Tiogair this month. It’s beyond time Red Letters joined the To Be Read pile party of others. I can’t wait to see all the pictures related to my books, and don’t doubt it, I will take you all along with me on this journey. Hope you forgive the priority focus until I have better news for you all…

For now, second week word count is

On with the show, here’s the music!

6- Tweet is more a lip singer, or shower singer, and part of me wants to peg it as Britney Spears but truthfully? She’s probably more Selena Gomez, especially Kill Em With Kindness, since that’s her philosophy.

7- I listen to everything even country, electro swing, some polkas, my rules are simple. Must have words, and not be too long a song. Yes, there are rule breakers, but it has to be a great exception like Bajofondo Tango Club- Montserrat

8- Tweet gets nostalgia from many songs, as she identifies people with music, but the one likely to make her cry, for reasons you’ll have to wait and read about is… Beautiful Goodbye from Jennifer Hanson

(Seriously can’t wait to finish, and see if you guys feel the same way too!)

9- For world playlist, we’re going to keep it simple since these two are how Tweet starts to learn you if you don’t pick songs first. I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett of course and Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seeger 

That’s my 5 for today, stay tuned, you might see a catch-up post!
