Yep, time for August’s Absolute Write blog chain. This month? If you had to pick one color, and one color only, for an aspect of your writing, which one would it be and why?

The person before me was Semmie and the one after me is CScottMorris

So, what colour do I ascribe to my writing?

Grey.

Good night everybody!

I’m kidding

Leaving aside that my favorite colour is grey and my favorite time of day is dusk, my favorite season is fall and I love the rain, my writing is grey.

Everything I write seems to be riddled with despair and bleak situations: murder, abandonment, loss of faith, loss of love, emotional manipulation, hunter versus hunted and all those fun things.

I’m not a happy storyteller, where’s the fun in that? Mine don’t ride off into the sunset, I don’t paint in sunset. I paint in muted colours.  Ash, beige, grey.

Not black, not really, black lacks depth and detail. Grey has shades and lights and other aspects to it, no matter how utterly depressing the final product turns out to be in the end.

Day 30 – Your favorite song at this time last year

Let’s go with this one, because it inspired art in me.

Yep, so we’re done folks, but you know what? I’m going to challange myself. I’m gonna do all 30 again, right now.
But only with Alice Cooper songs.

(more…)

Day 29 – A song from your childhood

Yep. Suck it, The Last Unicorn!

Day 28 – A song that makes you feel guilty
Guilty? Umm. Hm.
I can’t think of a suitable answer for this one at all.
Oh, wait!

Do you have any idea what it’s like to be a Type O Negative fan and not like this song? Do you? If you don’t like it you’re a BAD TON fan! Bad Fan! Don’t you know Peter Steele just Died?! Dance morosely damn it! HARDER!

Day 27 – A song that you wish you could play

I don’t even like Nine Inch Nails!

Day 26 – A song that you can play on an instrument
The only instrument I can use is my voice. So, I can sing…songs.
Here’s a song I grew up with. If you also grew up with it, you and I are part of an elite group of awesomeness.

Day 25 – A song that makes you laugh

More Vestibules! Behold an AMV I made.

Day 24 – A song that you want to play at your funeral

We’re almost done, folks!
I know I mentioned this song on LJ, but here it is again. It’s a very inspiring song, but the vocals make it sound very brooding and hopeless. That’s me alright, masked optimism.

Day 23 – A song that you want to play at your wedding
Screw weddings.

Buuut in my more innocent, less jaded days, I had two songs that were totally wedding songs in my mind…so…

The first one

And the second one

Mine would be an interesting wedding…

Day 22 – A song that you listen to when you’re sad

I don’t want to get into the reasons why.
