Colleen Lindsay asked me to write a little something for her blog, perhaps something about MFA programs (though I've never attended one), perhaps advice to beginning writers (though there are vastly better people to receive advice from), perhaps pictures of sickeningly cute animals. I dithered, then wrote this.
Pictures of sickeningly cute animals will have to wait.
Long-time Mumpsimus readers will remember a young man named Alan DeNiro, subject of an interview in 2004, and a young woman named Juliet Ulman, subject of an interview I conducted for Fantasy magazine in 2006. Recent readers will remember that, in 2008, the elves of Mumpsimus Mansion expressed excitement that a young woman named Colleen Lindsay moved from the world of publicity to the world of agenting, and one of her first clients was the above-named Mr. DeNiro.
Well, our plan for world domination is coming together. Super-writer DeNiro has, via the talents of super-agent Lindsay, joined forces with super-editor Ulman! The elves are jumping up and down with joy, expressing great congratulations to Alan for selling his novel Total Oblivion, More or Less to Juliet at Bantam via Colleen.
Numerologists will note that the various important events (interview 1, interview 2, joy for Colleen) occurred in even-numbered years. What do we have planned for 2010? Wait and see, my children, wait and see....
(Or we could just blame everything on this movie.)
I spend so much time lost in my headphones; it helps me write anything from judge profiles to my novel.
Every year I make a long, long list of gorgeous writing music for my friends.
Here's the conclusion, complete with links and stories. In all, there are twenty songs on my Best Songs of 2007 list. This year, the whole mix is entitled: "Turn My Life Over and Over Again." (Free CD to the first person to spot which song contains that wonderful line).
The list is not ranked in order of my favorites, I put the songs in Ideal Listening Order instead.
5. "C Is The Heavenly Option" by Los Campesinos from The International Tweexcore Underground. Catchy song, catchy band--they'll cheer you up real good.
4. "Will You Return?" by The Avett Brothers from Emotionalism. A bluegrass song that takes a magical swing at happy-go-lucky pop halfway through.
3. John Allyn Smith Sails by Okkervil River from The Stage Names. This band bowled me over this year, and this mixture of Beach Boys and confessional poetry would be my top pick of the year--if it wasn't so effing sad!
2. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová from The Once Soundtrack. This cheesy, gorgeous anthem from a great film will help you recover from the last sad song.
1. Flight 180 by Bishop Allen from The Broken String. "If you feel like dancing, dance with me." These are words to live by if you want to have a happy, happy new year.
