About that, I just realized that I hadn't used my code for my free proof copy of my Nano novel from CreateSpace - so I decided I better spruce it up a little so I could send it in. Unfortunately, the code expires the 30th of this month, so I really am in a bind as to whether or not I should throw myself into finishing/fixing it up by the 30th or just send it like it is. I still haven't decided, but I guess I will have to soon - I'm leaning towards sending it like it is.
At any rate, my novella is on hold for the present. I still have high hopes for it, though, and I think I'll get back to it more prepared to finish the first draft strongly.
I hope soon to begin posting regularly again - until then, here's something I want to share with you: the beautiful lyrics to a song my friend introduced me to by one of my favorite bands, Tenth Avenue North (you can listen to it in my playlist at the bottom of the page).
--Beloved--
Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
Give me your life
Lust and the lies
The past you're afraid I might see
You've been running away from me
You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
It's a mystery
Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
I'm the giver of life
I'll clothe you in white
My immaculate bride you will be
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh come running home to me
You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
Well you've been a mistress, my wife
Chasing lovers it won't satisfy
Won't you let me make you my bride
You will drink of my lips
And you'll taste new life
Cause you're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
And it binds you to me
And it binds you to me
You're my beloved
Forever we'll be
Our love it unites us
And it binds you to me
It's a mystery
It's a mystery
'Beloved' is one of my favorite Tenth Avenue North songs. 'You Are More' and 'By Your Side' win though. :)

@Lily: I've never heard "You are More"! *surprised* I really need to buy the rest of the CD. lol But "By Your Side" is easily my favorite song.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, lucky. I want to use my free code at CreateSpace before it expires, but although I finished NaNoWriMo (wrote 65k), my book isn't complete - it's somewhere in the middle looking desperately for a way to the end (next year, I'll have to outline, even if I don't want to =P). I highly doubt that I can finish (which would basically mean doubling the word count) AND edit in two weeks... So I don't think I'll be using the awesome offer. =/
ReplyDelete'You Are More' is one of the songs off TAN's new album, 'The Light Meets the Dark'. I haven't bought it yet, but if you check out TAN's youtube channel, you can hear previews of the songs and the story behind the lyrics - and those are really awesome. Mike would make a great pastor.
'Let It Go' is my favorite song from 'Over and Underneath'. =)
