Hello, friends!
I know it's not March. And I know I've not been around a lot. But deadlines do get me going and really quickly I wanted to participate in Heidi's monthly link-up, Inklings!
How it works:
1. At any time during the month, on your own blog post a scene from a book or film that matches the prompt, including a link back to Heidi's blog in your post.
2. Make sure to come back and leave a link to your entry in the box on that month's post: Heidi's post for January 2026.
This month's prompt is:
A scene in a heavy rainstorm in book or film
"In the rain, the pavement shines like silver."
My choice for this month is a scene from Les Misérables (2012) which features the song "On My Own" as performed by Samantha Barks.
No spoilers because if you've seen this movie you know what's happening, and if you haven't, you don't. This scene is also the perfect place to pause the movie to take a break. While things are still hopeful. This or "One Day More," where an intermission would happen if it wasn't a movie.
And that's what I love about the interpretation of this scene! It's hard to portray weather on the stage, so let's make this film special by making it rain. It's peak. It's gorgeous.
What are some of your favorite rain scenes? What are some of your favorite musical ballads? Have you ever sung a musical ballad in the rain?
Thanks for reading!
