Blondie’s Parallel Lines gave us “Heart of Glass” and “One Way or Another” , two tracks that still hit.

In this review, I dig into the vinyl pressing details (including an unexpected Israeli copy) and pair it with a crisp Provence rosé.

Clean rhythm. Cold pour. Let it play.

Circles and wires in the mist!

I snapped these photos while in low cloud up in the Ōtautahi-Christchurch Port Hills this afternoon. I kinda like them. 😀

"One Way or Another" is a song by American #newWave band #Blondie from their 1978 album #ParallelLines. Lyrically, the song was inspired by Blondie frontwoman #DeborahHarry's experience with a stalker in the early 1970s, an incident which forced her to move away from #NewJersey. The song's music was composed by bassist #NigelHarrison, who introduced the #Ventures-influenced track to keyboardist #JimmyDestri.

#WritingWonders 15. What unintentional behaviors / actions hurt your MC?

At the beginning of #ParallelLines, Thomas's lying is habitual ... and therefore unintentional. It's his default strategy for dealing with tension.

I worry about this a bit, because, at first Thomas can be a little unloveable for this reason. It makes his transformation more dramatic ... but there's a concern that Thomas might be hard to fall in love with when the story begins.

#SaveTheCat #amwriting #novel

This morning, I completed the editing and revision pass on #ParallelLines, the #novel I drafted in #Obsidian.

While the work of getting the book out into the world remains ... the writing is done. I've attempted and abandoned several novels ... but this is the first one I've actually finished.

I'm joyful and deeply moved at the same time. Where's the champagne?
