Yeah, no Heavy Metal playlist is complete without at least 5 songs by Dragonforce. This song is pure adrenaline. It makes you feel good, it’s upbeat, and I love it. When to Listen: Well, it’s on my general playlist and I like to listen to it whenever, but if you’re looking for a specific time to listen to it… burnout. I’m not kidding. Are … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

Not even the Imperial March could come close to being as recognizable and identifiable as the Top Gun theme. Far more simplistic in nature, yet bombastic and upbeat at the same time. It is such an iconic theme clearly right out of 80s Hair Metal, that you can’t ignore it. When to Listen: … yeah this is another upbeat writer’s block song. Listen to … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

Yeah this should come as no surprise to anyone. This is Tobias Sammet’s band. For those that don’t know, Sammet is the creative genius behind Avantasia and a number of other Metal performances. He’s lent his talents to several other creative works and compilations as well. This is simply one of his latest songs, but I encourage everyone to look into his other work… … Read More Off Of My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

From My Writing Playlist

Today I’m going to work with Romance. This is off my gateway metal album:   Okay, more of a tragic romantic song, but one none the less. I usually listen to this one when it’s a romance that I know is going to end in death. I don’t know why. It’s a sweet song, but has a sad element to it. Readers, Do you … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Okay, this one is a big one. It wasn’t my gateway or anything like that, but it was my introduction to Dragonforce… and my playlist was NEVER the same: When to listen: For me, it’s usually right at the beginning of the final conflict or climax of my story. It’s a strong, powerful, song that really gets the blood pumping. Songs like this are … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

I just discovered your blog because you “liked” my poem. I have previously self-published short stories and had a couple of short stories published in literary journals. I am re-branding myself and “relaunching” myself so to speak into the literary world. Am I able to mention these other short stories to potential agents if I published them under a different pseudonym? Also, I want … Read More How much should I advertise before My book is complete? #Advice #Writing #Literature #Fiction #Nonfiction #Rebranding
