Author Comments:
It could happen. I'm thinking ahead.








This list is a great concept, but the question is . . . is this novel an autobiography? Is this the music that defines you or simply songs that match some work of fiction? Defining the soundtrack to your life sounds like a fun project. . .
The novel is a work of fiction and the songs relate to the plot and characters. Since the novel is only half-way through the first draft, it is kind of premature to be thinking of movie rights and soundtracks, but the songs have come into my head while I write and seem to almost naturally relate to the material. Yes, the "life soundtrack" does sound like a fun project. To see my "life soundtrack," so far, see my favorite album and song listings; they do a lot to define me.
Did you finish your book ?
Is this my professor from college? Who are you? Who sent you?
Okay, frankly, I didn't finish my book. I was taking a break for the holidays. Do you think they're considered officially over now?
I am the professor from your film.
I am he who sent me.
