going going gone!

(aka bad poetry i wrote in one sitting, fueled by teenage angst and hand sanitizer.)

is it normal to listen to 2 crane wives albums on repeat for a month

Okay so I came up with a The Crane Wives themed nanowrimo idea. Keep in mind that I have never taken part in nanowrimo and that I have a very base idea of what it even is 

Basically; the prompt for each day would be two of The Crane Wives songs (the order and combinations of which have been randomly generated) and you could either choose one or both to base a short (or longer) story on (I think I’ll try to achieve somewhere between a 400 and 1000 word count each day). You can choose to either name the story by the title of the song, include lyrics as a dialogue or narration or any other part of your story, or just go with the general vibes and come up with a story that doesn’t really incorporate the song(s) at all - the posibilities are endless and entirely up to you as a writer! 

The order of the songs would be as follows: 

Of Everlong/ Pretty Little Things

Nothing At All/ Allies Or Enemies

I Talk In My Sleep/ Not The Ghost

Down the River/ Keep You Safe

The Glacier House/Strangler Fig

Hard Sell/Take Me To War

Know How/Sleeping Giants

Back To The Ground/ Nobody

New Colors/ Hole In THe Silver Lining

Show Your Fangs/ Never Love An Anchor

Ribs/ Curses

Easier/ Caleb Trask

 Volta/ The Wolf

New Discovery/Empty Page

 Counting Sheep/Can’t Go Back

Hollow Moon/ Queen Of Nothing

Steady, Steady/ Ancient History

Can’t Have It All/ Metaphor

Once And For All/  Naked, THe Night Falls

Turn Out The Lights/ Rockslide

High Horse/ Drown You Out

Icarus/ Taking Turns

Shallow River/ Tongues and Teeth

 Canary In A Coal Mine/ I Ain’t Done

 Diving Bell/ Unraveling

How To Rest/ THe Crooked, THe Cradle

The Hand That Feeds/ Daydreamer

The Moon Will Sing/ The Garden

 Here I Am/ Little Soldiers

 Safe Ship, Harbored/October 

(I forgot to include a few songs, including Sowing Seeds and possibly a few newer releases, so if you want you can replace any of the songs on the list with something that is not there.)

If anyone would be up to actually doing this challenge, please let me know and  we could maybe  come up with a tag or maybe tag me on your stories, because I would love to read other people’s stories too!
