"Sunday" by Les Friction has always been their song. I just found it really funny it took me almost a decade to realize it. Anyway, here is their song with lyrics: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DpQ...

Because the first verse is Diana, the second verse is Hunter, my two main characters. It's their lives before meeting, capturing their relationship. The final line of "I want to live" is the life they built together. It's the story of their journey.
Flash forward to today. Something in me today went, "You know, I'm going to listen to the lyrics of 'Sunday' just to see. I want to hear them." So I pulled up Spotify, turned it on, listened, and just started laughing.
I think there was a big part of me that was scared the song would be ruined somehow. Like if the lyrics didn't match, it would ruin this very important song to me. So, I just didn't listen to the lyrics version for literal years, almost a decade.
When Steven says, "You got this. I got this. We all have each other," it resonated with my novel as well with me as a person. The book at its core about community and finding found family. Anyway, for years, YEARS I knew there was a version of "Sunday" with lyrics, but I never once listened to them.
Side fact before the rest of the story: I first heard the song in this Steven Universe AMV that has been taken down and re-uploaded so many times. Steven Universe has always been an inspiration, with similar themes and capturing the adventure of the book. www.tiktok.com/@dotdot3polk...
Now that the app has the option to turn the video, I thought I’d upload again! #stevenuniverse #edit #cartoonedit #cartoon #cartoonamv #su #suedit

It's a song, especially when the chorus kicks in, that captures the tone, the story, and the characters' journeys that I want to create. No matter how dark it gets, there is hope underneath. It's an incredibly personal song and important to the process of me creating this book.
So funny story about my novel manuscript happened today. Well, funny to me anyway. I've been working on this book since 2016. From early on, the instrumental version of "Sunday" by Les Friction has been the theme song of this book.

Getting back into the swing of writing now that all my obligations are done for the year outside the norm. I'm very inspired seeing my friends publish their books. In fact, calling @arezouamin.bsky.social to congratulate her, she flat out said to me, "You're next."
Goal: Finish Draft 2 by year's end
I'm beside myself that I get to watch this soon

I was already in the bag for del Toro, but this is an epic retelling, with gorgeous production design and a heartwrenching score from Desplat. Isaac’s Victor skillfully captures the brilliance and arrogance of the character, but Elordi’s Monster is magnificent and the story’s beating heart.
