Although extremely depressing and down right tragic, I loved, Loved, LOVED the Virgin Suicides.

I love that near mystical experience of finding the voice and having the story sort of unravel of its own accord from that point forward (at least for a little while) and it's lovely to hear this feeling articulated. Such an inspiring and much needed video

+PrincessaAnastasiya I know it well myself having written three novels. It's a strange, inexplicable experience, kinda like how a song gets stuck in your head, the voices and rhythms are just there. It's nice to know that others experience it too.
