Sequel Preps

The title links to my epic Facebook page, Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month. :) Just a reminder to check this mother out if you have Facebook!

Speaking of mothers, I have started planning the sequel to "Life in Black and White" (of which there remains only five chapters yet to be written, by the way. :O Somehow that seems too important to put in parentheses, but whatever). So far, "It's All Inside My Head" seems like it's going to be just as:

- Long
- Obnoxious
- Depressing
- Overdramatic
- "Special"

as it's predecessor. :) Perhaps even MORESO in some cases (read: depressing, "special").

:3

So yeah.

One of the first steps I have undertaken in this Thing's planning stages, awkwardly enough, has been to make the soundtrack (version 1.0). This may seem a little bizarre to you, like, "wtf, she made the stupid book soundtrack before she finished excessively tweaking the whole entire plot? Who makes soundtracks for their book, anyway?"

In response to the last question, I do. In response to the first, yep, I did.

I NEED A READY-MADE PLAYLIST BEFORE (NOT WHILST) I START WORKING ON THIS DEPRESSING MOTHER. WHY? BECAUSE LAST TIME I BEGAN WRITING A LARGE BRICK OF FICTION, I DID NOT KNOW IT WOULD BECOME SUCH A LARGE BRICK OF FICTION. HAD I KNOWN THIS BEFOREHAND, I WOULD HAVE HAD A READY-MADE INSPIRATIONAL PLAYLIST BEFORE UNDERTAKING THAT ONE, TOO.

kthx.

Anyway, my soundtrack contains some epic, plot-relevant music. Which I love. I am very excited about this soundtrack. It keeps me from thinking too much about the scariness of finishing "Life in Black and White"!

So here is the track list. :)

It's All Inside My Head, 1.0

1. Enya - Amid the Falling Snow
2. Elton John - Birds
3. Sarah McLachlan - Good Enough
4. Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me
5. Eiffel 65 - Blue
6. Avril Lavigne - Slipped Away
7. Barenaked Ladies - Brian Wilson
8. Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
9. Beatles - Hey Jude
10. Elton John - Ballad of the Boy in the Red Shoes (this song inspired the book title)
11. Hedley - Perfect
12. Dido - Don't Leave Home
13. Roch Voisine - Kissing Rain (live version)
14. Coldplay - X&Y (novel theme)
15. The Beatles - In My Life
16. Sarah McLachlan - Answer
17. The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home

I tried my best to put the songs in chronological order of events in the plot. Hopefully, this will help me build the plot elements better. :)
