Eva’s Byte #218: Wouldn’t You Know!

A little birdie told me!

Actually—relayed a clairaudient message conveyed through partial song lyrics crooning through the inner voice in my mind, as I went about my business in the kitchen. Sending me reeling to the theme from 'Moonstruck'.

The refrain of “Don’t you know!” repeating in my mind prompted me to listen to the source from which it sprang—the song adaptation of the aria, "Musetta's Waltz” from Puccini's La Bohème, recorded by Jerry Vale in 1964:

Don't you know
I have fallen in love with you
For the rest of my whole life through
Don't you know
I was yours from the very day
That you happened to come my way

Wouldn’t you know!

An Indie author, I took this further by incorporating the gist of these words for the dialogue of a scene I happen to be working on in chapter 28 of my current Work in Progress.

Furthermore, the scene that’s shaping up has prompted me to change the name of my main character which also happens to be in the title. Yes, I have my work cut out for me, thanks to my muse who mind-melded with me.

Whenever I open my novel document to resume writing, the “pantser” approach renders the process an adventure beset with unexpected plot twists.

Literary works undergo many revisions to absorb the writer’s newfound visions.
