National Novel Writing Month is upon us. You’ll have to pardon me as I wish to dedicate my time write–feeble as it is–to the challenge of 50,000 words in 30 days.
So rather than blog, per say, I shall share music I find useful for various elements of story. For starters, a starter: music that marks the beginning of adventure. James Newton Howard’s score for PETER PAN has an excellent bit of fantastic to inspire you: a light giddiness that builds into the dramatic departure of the known for the unknown.
Are you ready to embark on Thirty Days and Nights of Literary Abandon? Don’t be afraid. Let your story hold out its hand. Take it, and fly.

Dropping you a note, saying that 50,000 words in a month would seem like a mammoth task for me. Have fun crafting them!

Yes, it is perfect. I remember Peter and the Wolf of my childhood (I started music school when I was six).

50000 words just seems astonishing. Must take so much determination, imagination and with kids so much strength to cope with the tiredness and off days.. xx

He has been referred to physio for therapy on it. Back to see the consultant in three months. Itβs going to be a long recovery I think. When itβs your dominant hand it becomes such a limiting factor.
