Part 10

So...I'm pretty proud of this part. I made myself move outside my own box a little and pushed myself to get exactly what I wanted for a scene, no matter how much time and effort it took. I think it was worth it. I got across what I wanted to and even surprised myself with what came out. A word to the wise, effort is worth it. Effort is the key to everything.

Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to leave a comment on Just One, sent me a message or signed my guestbook. You have no idea how much it means to me! I really enjoy seeing others get into the story and characters as much as I do.

And I think I might have created a small uproar with this last part. No one wants Rosalie to leave Mitch and exclude him from her life and the baby's. I understand. But at the same time, I'm not writing a story with surface relationships and a 'happy' ending. Happy, after all, is a yuppie word. Instead, I'm trying to create something deeper. A story that leaves something to be desired within. It can be so simple, yet so painful: love. And I'm not just talking about romantic love here. Please know there is so much more to life than romantic love. But "The Things Unsaid" title means alot. I didn't put everything out in the open in part ten. Rosalie's doing what she's doing for a reason. It will become clearer later. Anyways, I'm not so sure now that it will only be 12 parts like I said before. As I was writing it out last night, I realized that there's alot more left to go.

Music, Music, Music

So I stayed up pretty late last night to work on capturing footage for part 10. I'm not going to lie, I've got some great music for this part and I'm pretty excited about it. I never usually pick a song that I really, really love because I don't want to ruin it for myself because while editing, I hear it over and over again and I get sick of it, but other times I just hear a song for the first time and I just know that it has to be included. In past parts I've taken songs that I've gotten for free (not illegaly) from bands I've never heard of and put them in. Usually this ends up in me liking and memorizing that song, something I probably wouldn't have done before. This is especially true with the song Communicate with Jonezetta. I couldn't really stand that song at first, but it fit the scene in part seven so I used it and after hearing it again and again it grew on me. Jonezetta is actually a pretty awesome band I've found out. They have a pretty killer song called "Get Ready (Hot Machete)", which is kind of a weird song but the sound totally rocks. I've become pretty addicted to www.Last.fm because I've found so many new bands through it. Two, in fact, that I used for part 10. I've gotten a few requests for sharing what kind of music I like (which thrills me) so here are some bands you should check out if you haven't already:

1. Brooke Waggoner (She is amazing. No doubt about it. You can even download her EP for free on her myspace. Do it. You won't be disappointed.)
2. Holly Brook
3. Copeland
4. Mae
5. High Flight Society
6. The Classic Crime
7. Relient K
8. Lovedrug
9. Reeve Oliver (Saw them live. They're fantastic)
10. Athlete (Also saw these guys live recently. They have a great sound)
11. Molly Jenson
12. Death Cab for Cutie
13. The Fold
14. Ryan Ferguson
15. Jon Foreman (Eh, I could write a whole blog or two on this one. I'll save you for now. His EPs are kind of indescribable in that incredible way. He's an amazing guy. Defintely check out Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.)
16. Anberlin

There are so many more, but I'll stop for now. I'd love (seriously love) to hear what you thought if you checked out any of these musicans. Oh and I love to get recommendations. I'm always up for something new.

Well, part 10 is getting closer and closer to being done. Bye for now.
