New Dreams for August..

A new month how "funtastic" time to reflect on the good times of July and the idea of following your dreams. Remember my deadline to finish editing my novel on July 30th well it quite didn't happened. I have a few more chapters of editing and hopefully by tomorrow everything will be polished. This was actually the most ambitious goal ever and I can't believe it is going to be finished. Super excited about sharing this new rewrite of the novel I think this is the 3rd draft or maybe 4th I have lost track. I think the best part of having a project ready to present to an audience is quite exciting, because last Sunday in my writer's workshop I/we debuted my song "Friday Night" to the group. It was the chapter were my girl protagonist and her friend  go to a show to see their favorite girl band and this poem is the song. I've had the melody in my head for five years now until another member of my writer's group was very nice to do the music on ukulele (which sounds freakiiiin incredible) I almost broke down in tears, because I couldn't believe that my song/poem can be so beautiful sounding in someone else's voice. The best moment of the reading was when I did my acappella version very punk rock to the writer's group yes...my first time singing to an audience and the other writer did her version on the ukulele such a magical moment. My colleagues of the workshop enjoyed both performances very much and hopefully we get to perform it pretty soon to an audience. In the meantime I am going to figure out a way to record it and have a demo of the song for the readers of this blog to listen to it. The song is part of the experience of the novel and the protagonists, with all this excitement I think August is going to bring more fun writing adventures, boy diaries moments, and tons of dancing. So please come back and be part of this journey with me.
