Another audio post because I’m like a kid on Christmas morning with my new recorder and I’m having SO much fun with it!
Don’t worry, I won’t talk as long. My last audio post was blahblahblah … what?
Exactly. Snoozesville.
So, short and sweet this time.

I heard something on the radio today and thought it was interesting …
If you could pick one song to represent you for 2009, what would it be?
I think for me, it would be Christina Aguilera’s “I’m a fighter.” It’s rather a mean song (which can apply to me at times), but overall, I think of strength and determination whenever I hear it.
If you’re unfamiliar with the song, have a listen:
This song inspires me. And it serves as a reminder that though it’s important to get along with people, in the end, I must do what I feel is right regardless of whether the population agrees with me or not.
And that, I think, is my overall goal for this year – to submit my writing, the writing from my heart, and hope for the best.
In fact, I read a quote over at 70 Days of Sweat that I thought truly applied to me:
Write what you want to read. The person you know best in this world is you. Listen to yourself. If you are excited by what you are writing, you have a much better chance of putting that excitement over to a reader. -Robin McKinley
And that’s what I’m going to do. I’ve been denying what I truly wanted to write for too long. I read romance/chick-lit. I will write romance/chick-lit and I will get over my snooty attitude about the genre and do what’s in my heart.
Period. And if people in my life don’t like that, listen to the above song.
Please. 🙂
I’m listening to a few CD’s right now.
Well, not RIGHT this minute, I can’t write and listen to music at the same time, but I’ve been listening to them off and on and may I just say …
Momma likes.
I went out and actually bought the CD’s, I haven’t actually bought CD’s in forever. Why did I buy them? Because I don’t know, I LIKE having a hard copy as opposed to downloading on iTunes – it feels safer to me. Even though it will be a pain to reload the music back onto iTunes if/when my computer needs to be refomatted, I don’t mind because I know I’ll have my music as opposed to thinking I have a copy and I don’t, or thinking I have a copy that works, and I don’t.
Been there, done that.
AND, I like buying CD’s instead of downloading because this way my husband can put the music on his phone, which is not an Apple device and there’s no way to transfer iTunes music (special format, I think it’s MP4?) onto a non-Apple device.
Kind of sucks, actually.
The two CD’s that I bought? Nickelback’s “Dark Horse” and David Cook’s self-titled CD. You remember David Cook, the American Idol winner? Yeah well, he has his own CD out now and though I haven’t heard all of it yet, I like what I hear so far.
You might have heard “Light On” on your radio? That is, IF you listen to the radio anymore? Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I do, in my car. And sometimes I listen to talk radio at home, but for the most part, I don’t listen to anything because I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time – i.e. be creative and listen to music at the same time.
Anyway, I took the liberty of burning the “Light On” song, so you can listen to it, if you wish.
I also think this song will become a hit. It’s called “Declaration.”
AND, this gets me in the mood to put some Christmas music on here again. Beginning December 1, I’ll start putting some Christmas songs in my posts for you to enjoy.
I heart Christmas music. 😀
Have a great evening, everyone!
