All that Shimmers

Somebody asked me a question about Repo Chick Blues today, and I couldn't remember the answer. I'm one of those writers who don't read their stuff after it's done. I see too many things that I would change and make better (or so I think). I could work on a story forever, constantly trying to make it better. I'd never be finished if I gave in to my obsessive drive to perfect and fix.

I think this might also be a reason why I'm struggling with finishing Frost. I have to go back and read it. I have to figure out where to insert the added scenes. Need to see what needs be be layered in here and there. Blah blah blah. Sometimes techincal is good. It's less emotional. But it's trudging through the emotional stuff to be able to do the technical stuff.

It's been a wild few months for me. Trying to not be distracted by outside factors is a struggle. There are shiny, sparkly things about, which draw my attention.

I'm trying. But the shimmery things are just so pretty. I'm worse than a kitten chasing the beam of a flashlight. *Sigh*

I love this song. Carl Bell, Fuel guitarist, wrote this song. I think this guy is an amazing lyricist.

Shimmer Lyrics

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And she can take me for a while
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterfliess, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools that fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....
Guess I'll let it go
