For some reason, the transition between the build-up and the sex in Heart just wasn’t flowing. I decided to skip ahead to the ending of the story, and that’s what I’m writing at the moment. That, at least, is flowing nicely.
While I’ve got this open, I thought I’d put up some links to YouTube to specific songs that are often playing when I’m writing, for anyone who’s never been exposed to Chrono Trigger/Cross. A couple of these are even going to provide the specific pace of important scenes in SOTM.
The first three are always playing in the background any time I’m in the midst of writing an epic scene. Vital turning points and desperate battles use these three as their soundtrack. Odds are that at some point, I’ll make a video or two displaying the text of one of these scenes with the music playing in the background.
Chrono Trigger Main Theme
Chrono Cross: Scars of Time
Chrono Cross: Time of the Dreamwatch
This one has a very specific scene tied to it – the culmination of Sisters of the Mists. I’ll almost certainly do a video showing the text along with this song when I finish the story.
Chrono Trigger: To Faraway Times
Yeah, there’s an ulterior motive. I’m hoping to make these songs feel as epic to other people as they do to me by tying them to the story *laugh* Anybody who’s played Chrono Trigger probably already has that. There’s little that can compare to Crono stepping onto that teleportation pad, picking up Marle’s necklace, and that epic main theme booming from the speakers.
Okay, back to writing 🙂
