These songs all added something to my ideas; either by inspiring plot points or keeping me focused on my goal. As I say in my book: "Music is powerful; it transforms emotions and experiences into something tangible. Every time you hear a familiar song the feelings from it bubble to the surface, bringing back memories you might have otherwise forgotten."
Weave the songs together, and perhaps you can discover the general idea of the story ;)

Introverted Feeling (Fi): The INFP's primary function of Fi filters information based on interpretations of worth, forming judgments according to criteria that are often intangible. Fi constantly balances an internal set of values such as harmony and authenticity. Attuned to subtle distinctions, Fi innately senses what is true and what is false in a situation. With Fi as their dominant function, INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of emotion.
Extraverted Intuition (Ne): The INFP's secondary function of Ne finds and interprets hidden meanings, using “what if” questions to explore alternatives, allowing multiple possibilities to coexist. This imaginative play weaves together insights and experiences from various sources to form a new whole, which can then become a catalyst to action. INFPs engage the outside world primarily with intuition. They are adept at seeing the big picture, sensing patterns and the flow of existence from the past toward the future. They are talented at "seeing between the lines."

I'm an aspiring author currently working on a young adult novel.
I'll be blogging about the writing experience, so please subscribe to my blogs and give me your feedback!
I'm going to be a senior at Rollins College.
My Myers-Briggs personality type is an INFP. I've recently become fascinated by these, because it's crazy how right they are.
I've been a huge fan of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer since the first book came out, and think she's amazing for creating such an incredible world and lovable characters.
The inspiration for the particular book I'm working on came from the Love Story music video by Taylor Swift. Music highly inspires my writing, and you can find the playlist for my book on the left column of my page.
I enjoy playing the guitar and singing. I post videos sometimes of songs I like!
I would rather wear jeans than get dressed up.
I love montage scenes in movies. Everyone's working hard, having fun doing it, and does a great job in the end!
I want to go to Antarctica. Even though I detest cold weather.
I have a Terrapass to help fight global warming, because I believe it's important to do what we can to save our planet.
I wish the world of Harry Potter was real and I could actually go to Hogwarts.
I love Broadway, listening to musicals, and seeing shows. My favorite musicals are Wicked and Phantom of the Opera.
I love synonyms and similes. And alliteration ;)
I'm really open-minded, and always listen to what people have to say.
I enjoy watching natural disaster movies, or anything involving the end of the world. I'm a peaceful person, so have no idea why.
I love animals, especially dogs. I have a Bichon Frise named Rocky and a Maltese/Shitzu named Cocoa.
I don't like wearing closed toed shoes, so I walk around in sandals even when it's freezing.
I remember different parts of my life by what music I was listening to at the time.
I will procrastinate doing homework as much as possible, but I always get it done. I'm also a perfectionist with things I care about.
I was named after a Beatles song. Guess which one ;)
"The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened."
You'll get it published, no doubts from me. You worked so hard, for so long on this, and you're a great writer as it is. Not to mention the idea is totally fab!
You must be so excited. Still going to prob send it out in a week, or...?
Omgosh Michelle, you so will get it published! Your a great writer, and I can tell because your Laur, and your Juliet I think it was. You will:D I want a signed coppy!
Gag me. lol. my history class is done ebut my other classes blow. mon & wed i was at school from 7-7 0_0 yea no bueno but its better now. its only 12-7 now mon - thur lol. but oh well ;D
Dude, I don't blame you for just wanting to send it out NOW. I would be like... dying. Wow. You've worked so hard for so long on this -- I'm wicked proud of you! And only about a week left? OMG. That's so amazing. I can't wait for this book to come out. Cause once it comes out, we all know it will be a bestseller. And once it becomes a bestseller, I'm probably gonna cry for you.
I'm so curious as to what happens in the story. Just knowing the plot isn't enough. But, I'll wait my turn just like everyone else, lol. It's crazy to think after ALL the editing your story has gone through, someone is still going to go through it, your editor, and edit it some more. Like, seriously. Would there be anything left for them to edit? LOL.
and I KNOW. That's just... ugh. Read the books, people!!
Since you spent all day editing that reminded me of something and I figured you might know... So which is the correct way to say this: That was the best thing I've ever ATE or That was the best thing I've ever EATEN
Me and my brother were debating this. Grammar was a big part of why I changed English from my major to my minor I'm just no good at it.
BTW, that Bliss who commented below me irks me. Her and her "group" bitched at Jo, the Sky in the BB group. Like, we've been here for over a year. You can't just march in, claiming your pages are better so therefore you're the official. Apparently, they called Jo a bunch of immature things. Which is lame, since Jo has always been so nice to everyone.
Why do people do that, though? Ask to REPLACE someone else, especially considering the real BB group isn't unactive. That's just mean and inconsiderate. At least, I think it is.
I know I should have waited for your reply to my other comments to send this... but responding to your extended network was urgent.
Hello, I am Bliss Llewellyn. My friends and I created a group for the series Blue Bloods. We noticed that their is already an official group but my group would like to become official too. We are not all the way dont but our pages are good so far. We will try our hardest to make our pages suitable for the officials and for the fans. We feel that we may do better than the officials you have. Please consider us on replacing the officials. We respect that they have been here for over a year but so far our pages are looking better. Please respond through Bella or here.
My bad -- I forgot to respond to your question. My summer is going alright, although it's way boring. Better then going to school, though. It's funny, you wait all year for summer then once it comes you think "now what?" LOL. How is yours coming?
A trilogy? Awesome! Do you have that trilogy planned out, too? And you're almost done with your edits? Sweet! How long do you think until you can start sending it off?
Hey,I wont be on my June page for a couple of days because my laptop is broken and it needs to get fixed and I don't know when it will be...well fixed. bye!
I agree! It ruined it for me. The rest of the book was great... until then. Which reminds me, when you get your book published, do you plan on any sequels? Just curious.
Yeah, it came out on Friday. I'm going to hopefully see it soon. Looks good, but I know they changed the ending for the movie.
By the way, I've been commenting myself every time I hit comment back, too. It sucks.
Hey girlie! Wanted to let you know you were so right about the outline!
I found out why my ideas were getting tangled, and now after doing the
outline and planning out my characters in full detail and the world the
story takes place in, everything is flowing nicely once more! Quite
exciting. lol. I have a notebook filled with notes now that I should
have done years ago. :P
we switched plans and headed to Amarillo because Aaron said he went when he was a kid and it was fun so we drive down and it smells like cow ass because its filled with stock yards lmfao then we stay at this old incampment from the 70's it was creepy and deserted aside from us
but other than that it was pretty cool the Canyons were pretty bomb we went and saw TEXAS Lmfao it was really cheesy and we had to sit in the rain for awhile
LMFAO. HAHAHA. That's so true. There's always more girls then there are guys in EVERYTHING. Which, really, is a shame. Alright, I'll have to see about making one, then.
And yeah, their layouts were painful to look at it. Didn't they attempt to make icons and such, too? Those sucked, too. I could make icons just as good. (Not better, but just as good. Meaning they weren't great because my skills with photoshop and such is rather limited, if you remember.)
So I just read My Sister's Keeper. Haven't seen the movie yet. Have you read the book? I had known what the ending was before I started reading it, but I don't like it now. The author says she planned it carefully, but it seemed so random and so RUSHED. Like she needed an ending that would make an impact last minute. =/
If you haven't read the book... then you can ignore all that, haha.
Hey my friend Ashley (official Kenzie and some othrs) and she told me you knew how to make fake I.D's. Is she serious? I've been looking for someone who knew how to to make them, cause I like to party and rave. I believe I told you that already though.
