A-Z '13 - Ice & I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore


During April a bunch of bloggers are participating in the A-to-Z blogging challenge of 2013. My theme for 2013 is an A-to-Z list of classic Aussie tunes - either classic or just plain songs I like. Today we're up to "I" and I have chosen two songs that I love equally though for different reasons. Those songs are:

Ice - Magic Dirt



I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore - Divinyls


"Ice" is one of the earliest songs I heard by Magic Dirt, and to this day it's one of my favourites. Adalita Srsen is a kick-arse guitarist who has inspired a nation full of gals who wish they could play guitar - at her live shows she's been known to tell people, "It's never too late! Pick up a guitar and start a band!" As for Divinyls, well they're basically Aussie legends, particularly the amazing Chrissie Amphlett, and this is probably my favourite song by them (though they have so many great ones!). It helps that it's on the soundtrack to one of my favourite movies of all time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ;)

It's Day 28!



Last night I reached 90,873 words, after writing 7712 (I thought it was over 8k, but the word count API tells me differently) to catch up on all the days I had missed writing the full required amount. I have notes throughout my manuscript for VICTORIOUS that say "needs filling", so I can easily find the parts I have yet to write out. So far with this novel, there are bits I love and many more bits I don't love. But that's to be expected! I haven't touched DANNA since Day 16 began, except for at the end of Day 16 when I had already written my quota for VICTORIOUS and added a few more words to DANNA.

It's pretty well confirmed that neither novel will be finished by December. And right now I am listening to Magic Dirt, a beautiful song called "Smoulder".
