Relaxed Week=Progress

Hello World Wide Web! I actually have gotten something done on my 20 Time Project. I was out of school for a week for Winter Break. It allowed me some time to just sit down and really think about my 20 Time Project. I know I said that I was going to write the parody with the song, "Blank Space," but Taylor Swift's new video for her single, "Style", just came out and it got me inspired to write the lyrics to that song. I was just sitting in my bed, on my laptop, then next thing I know, I have typed up my ENTIRE SONG!! I chose the book trilogy, The Hunger Games, and the song is in Katniss' perspective and she's talking about Peeta. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to find someone to sing it and record it on my laptop. Right now, though, I am working on making another song to "Blank Space", maybe the same book. I'm not sure yet. I just want to have options. Jazz is out!

Busy Week=No Progress

Hello World Wide Web! This week I honestly didn't accomplish much. My week has been filled with tests, quizzes, and lots of homework. The teachers have to finish the units we're working on before our break. Speaking of break, next week I will have no school. That means that I have ten days to just work on my 20 Time Project. The plan is still the same for my project. I am still working on the lyrics to my song because like I said I haven't had much time to make any progress. Hopefully, next week I will have much more to share. Jazz is out!

Song...Check! Book...Not So Much...

Hello World Wide Web! So, I'm finally getting a good start on this whole process of creating this musical parody. This week I have successfully picked a song to parody. Thanks to the suggestion of Mrs. Vessell, I will be using Blank Space by Taylor Swift. It has a nice beat, rhythm, and lyrics that are very easy to manipulate. If you don't know the song, you can listen to it and watch the music video below:

Now, I'm not going to lie. I am a little bit behind my deadline with picking a book to incorporate with the song, but I am working on that right now. Hopefully, by next week, I should have a book selected. Emphasis on HOPEFULLY because as I have stated before I am extremely indecisive. My goal is that as soon as I select the book I will be using, I can go immediately into writing the lyrics to the parody. I will probably also need to compile a new plan/timeline for myself because I am already way behind on my current one. I guess I should've expected this though. Time management has never been my strong suit. (It's why I procrastinate so much.) Anyway, wish me luck! Jazz...Is...Out!
