From My Writing Playlist #Amaranthe #Metal #Sabaton #82nd #Music

I actually love this more than the Sabaton version. I’m a huge fan of Elize Ryd and am actually going to meet her this coming August! This song also reaches me on another level because… well… My grandfather was All American 82nd. So yeah, big time love on this one! When to listen:  General playlist, tons of positive vibes and multiple places where this would … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Amaranthe #Metal #Sabaton #82nd #Music

From My Writing Playlist

Got a request to recommend a good ‘rock opera’ song. Really it doesn’t get any better than Avantasia and in particular this song! The Great Mystery has everything; chorus, amazing instrumentals, guest performance by metal legend Bob Catley from Magnum… oh yeah! This has to be on my list! When to listen:  I’ll give you a hint, skip to 9:19. Then picture your favorite Disney … Read More From My Writing Playlist

From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

This song fills me with a great amount of joy. It’s debatable whether or not this is a Christmas or New Years song, but I hear it at both, so it counts. I used to rock out to this on a guitar with a bunch of friends. So I have a lot of fond memories. When to Listen: Ending, when writing after the final fight. … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

  Again, not a huge fan, but that’s partially because I’m not a huge Tom Hanks fan, but it’s a nice movie if you can deal with him being… almost every adult role in it? When to Listen: … ugh… damn it. Once my eyes dry.  Damn you Polar Express!! (General playlist) Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc? Please … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

  I admit to being perplexed by this song. It’s kind of sad for a Charlie Brown movie. Still it is pretty good. When to Listen: During the journey. When your character is in the middle of a question, perhaps trying to reach the first destination. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

I can’t believe I’m doing this…   You’re a stronger person than I am if you can watch this video and still take this band seriously. All I’m going to say… When to listen: DON’T!!!! Hahahaha Just kidding. This is a psych out song. Don’t listen to it while writing. You kind of have to watch the video to really get the full effect. It’s … Read More Off My Writing Playlist

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am NO fan of Jim Carrey and the abomination that is his rendition of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. That being said, this song is actually pretty decent. When to listen: This is a quest building song, when the hero first sees what lies ahead of them and has to make the decision on what they’re … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

Hehehe… you knew after ‘Fairy tale in New York City’, that this one was going to make the list. When to Listen: Don’t, not when writing. Stop writing, then listen. I don’t want to know what people might come up with to write while listening to this one! 🙂 Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

I have to admit, I had to go through a few different versions of this song to find one I liked. This is as close as I could get… and even this one feels way to rushed. When to listen: Brainstorming, especially if you like harmonies. This would be a great place to try to concoct a few ideas.
