I did something fun today. I've been pretty off my game this week. Bad head & chest cold, lack of sleep, general rundown vibe and not feeling very creative. Although, I did take a break and go to Knott's Scary Farm the other night! Lots of fun, despite my nonstop phlegm fest. :)

Feeling crummy as I have, I just couldn't focus on writing, even when I actually had quiet time to sit and get it down. SO frustrating! So today I went back to my source. It's no secret that Dax Harrison is based off a film script I wrote. Yes, Dax was meant to be a good old-fashioned summer blockbuster. So much so that as I worked on crafting scenes, I would often imagine music from other films as part of the Dax soundtrack as inspiration.

I can't be the only one who does that, right? Heck, sometimes I hear epic soundtracks in my head while I'm just reading someone else's book. Personally, some pretty intense action tunes were playing in my head while reading Katniss fight her way through The Hunger Games, BEFORE the movies started coming out.

So to reinvigorate my writing vibes, and to share with anyone who's interested, here is the Dax Harrison unofficial soundtrack, made of co-opted music from other films, a TV show, and one terrific game series I just finished replaying. I also made a track listing with custom titles, just to give a few hints (but not too many) about how the story plays out. I hope it's just enough to make you say, "GAH! I can't wait to read it! I'm going to share this with 1000 people right now and tell them to pre-order!" ;)
