Who needs some fun today?

I certainly do.

Sometimes when an idea hits, we have no choice but to write about. And it was just such an experience that led to a novella that you will hopefully will be seeing soon (in one way or another).

When trying to define characters I’m writing about, I need to things: a visual image, and the favorite song on their iPod at the moment. Today, I’d thought I’d share those notes on this story here.

In a recent post, I introduced you to the photo on the left — inspiration behind the hero in said novella.

Below is the song “Broken” by Seether. If Nate had a song that was her personal soundtrack, or song that he had stuck on repeat on his iPod, it would be this one.

“Broken” by Seether

Meet Hailey. While her spirit might be “broken,”  she knows what’s missing in her life: A true connection with another person. She’s been running after her goals with blinders on for so long, she lost touch with her family, friends and herself.

Her “repeat song” is Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now.”
