NaNoWriMo Song of the Week: Spotlight by Mutemath

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting several fellow NaNo participants at a write-in. Now, for those of you who know me know that I have a weekend routine that I like to stick to – part of that being the fact that I prefer to stay home on Sundays and write while doing the laundry. But I figured, what the hell….I’ll be going for three hours and will be doing exactly the same thing I’d be doing if I was home (minus the laundry), so why not go and see what it’s like.

Well, we met at this café called The Green Bean, and I have to say, it was a great experience! The café itself was great, very hipster (as my sister called it) and low-key with an awesome selection of tunes. I enjoyed the location just enough to where I might actually decide to make some trips there on my own so I can write away from the house for a couple of hours.

When I walked in the door, ‘Spotlight’ by Mutemath was playing. This song in itself set the tone for my time there which is why I wanted to share it with all of you.

For fans of the Twilight movies, you might recognize this particular song since it was on the first movie’s soundtrack.

Hope you enjoy!

Happy Reading and Writing!!!

Melinda

AHHHHH!!!! I LOVE Mutemath! I had the privilege of meeting them before one of their Nashville gigs. Even got to chat for a bit and see their set list. It was great! I see them every time they play in Nashville. They have soooo many fabulous songs. They also sent me 6 extra Armistice CD's...3 of which I plan on giving away on my blog a little closer to Christmas :) Nice to know a fellow fan!

Yay! I agree, so nice to meet a fellow fan!! I'm glad to hear that you got to meet them (and a bit jealous - lol) :p

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :)

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your contest so I can try to win one of those CD's!

I feel so silly, because I've never gone to a NANO meet up. I guess I was too shy or something when I last did nano. I think the next time I'd go and not be so timid about it. :) Hope it's going well for you!

Oh, don't feel silly! Believe it or not - and I'm not really a shy person - but I was incredibly nervous about going...I sat in the parking lot for about 10 minutes before finally getting up the nerve to go inside the coffee shop! LOL

It's hard, but I'm sure you'll thoroughly enjoy a NANO write-in when you participate next time. It was a lot more fun that I though it would be - not as much writing as you'd like sometimes, but fun to talk ideas with fellow writers in person. :)
