Behind the Scenes

info + playlist

Passing college is a difficult task on its own, but imagine what it's like when your final grade rests in the hands of the worlds' favorite rock-star.

As graduation from her local community college approaches, Reese Taylors yearns for some answers on where she should continue a degree that she's still undecided on. She wants more than her Independent Studies degree under her belt, but is still at a crossroads as to what she does want to pursue.

Putting one-hundred and ten percent into every strange elective she's chosen, Reese decides to go above and beyond the assignment, creating her final film project on the behind the scenes life of a famous musician in Hollywood's latest hit band, An Echo in Time.

In hopes of rekindling an estranged friendship, she hops on a plane to Los Angeles during her Spring Break. Only minutes after she arrives, Reese catches the media world by storm and tosses not only her plans but her heart into an adventure she surely didn't see coming.

· all original characters and places are figments of my imagination that have been living in my brain for months and needed to be released. any similarities to other stories or real things is purely coincidental.

· lennon + the rest of the band aren't based off a single band/musician in general. they were created through a mix of some of my favorite artists.

· this book is set in college years and there will be some hinting at mature themes that, at the moment, i do not feel comfortable writing. who knows, maybe one day i will in an edit, but until then, please refrain from asking.

· the song lyrics and titles throughout are not mine; they were created using an online generator.

· please remember that my characters thoughts/beliefs/values are different from my own. just because something is mentioned doesn't mean that I agree with what's being said.

· each chapter will be titled a word/phrase that pertains to the art of filmmaking. these will range from cinematography, to editing styles, to mise en scene, to technical camera terms, etc. all these definitions were found on Google or through my notes from my film classes i've taken.

· updates will fall on Fridays between 3 and 5 PM EST.

welcome back!!

if you're new here, i unpublished bts a few months ago so that i could focus on it offline and get to that ending. i figured since i forgot what was going on, others did too and you all (and this story) deserves better than that! my finals are over in 3 weeks from now, but i have a ton of prewritten chapters until i can churn out new content!

thank you all so much for being patient with me and this story! and if you're a new reader, i hope you fall in love with lennon as much as i have :))
