So I got this song stuck in my head and it turned into a somewhat twisted short story (*great* acoustic performance vs. the studioized music video...). I've got a first draft at just over 2K that needs some polishing but I figure it's a good warmup for NaNo.

I’ll have to listen to the song when I get home...but funnily enough, I was just discussing (with some of the TypeWriMos) stealing stories from songs or poems to use for NaNo.

I still don’t have a plot...but if I can find the right song to use as a starting point, I may run with that....

I finished a short story last night. It’s abhorrent, and needs a lot of trimming and reworking, but at least I’m writing, I guess.

I like Elvis Costello; he's just weird enough. ;o) The St. Stephen's Day Murders is another one of his strange ones. This isn't a video, but an audio performance. I have the Chieftan's Christmas compilation, "Bells of Dublin", and always enjoy this song.
