One of Avantasia’s songs off of the Metal Opera. Again, a very well done album that I thoroughly encourage everyone to listen to. When to Listen: This is a reflective song. Listen to this when a character is doing inward looking or soul searching. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

This one… is a rarity for me. I don’t typically deal in anything Metallica post ’89. Once the Black album came out, it was fairly obvious that band had sold their soul to the ‘alternative’ genre that is the bane of most metal/hard rock fans. It’s an all encompassing, soul-sucking, genre that has some of the most vapid, and undefinable music out there. Remember … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Well I couldn’t put it all on one list, so here’s #2… these are songs that I do not recommend listening to when trying to write, not without a foreign substance involved (which I also don’t recommend), Again, this is strictly opinion, so don’t get mad if you see your favorite song on here… (If it is on here… seriously though!) 😉 System Of … Read More On My Writing Banlist #2

Okay, disclaimer, I know I posted this song before, but having recently recovered this version, I wanted to post it so everyone knows why I love this song: This is my wife’s favorite movie but… I don’t know, for me its painful to watch. I actually mean that literally the horrible editing where they don’t hold a single shot for more than a couple … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Okay, now that I’ve sufficiently bashed pop music in my last post… allow me to extend an olive branch to my readers who listen to said music: The first song I head by Adele was ‘Rumor Has It’ and… yeah I wasn’t impressed. However my wife loves her. So obviously I was going to be subjected to more of her music. Most of it … Read More From My Writing Playlist

So for months, I’ve been sharing my writing playlist with everyone, particularly songs that I personally love that really have helped turn the creative wheels. Some songs are more responsible than others when I’ve written stories. Some songs are solely responsible for the main plot lines, while others have just helped stave off the writers block, and even more have just given me energy … Read More On My Writing Banlist

I don’t know, I stumbled on this one a while back… it stuck with me. When to listen: General playlist maybe? I listened to this song throughout writing Divinity. So maybe something with a diety in it. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

Yes I know, these guys again! Sorry, I love this song and about 4 or 5 from this album are showing up on my list now. When to listen: Definitely brainstorming. Likely a song you listen to when your hero first takes up the sword to accept the journey he’s about to go on. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Really Jim? These guys again? YES THESE GUYS AGAIN! When to Listen: I’ve really been adding this band’s songs to my list as they come out. Each one has its own feel to it. I’d say that this is a final fight song if anything. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc? Please feel free to post a comment or … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Going old school here. Not metal, but I recently just re-watched Rob Zombie’s rendition of Halloween… how he went from a rocker to that… well I guess I can understand it, but I didn’t see it coming. When to listen: This is bad guy music. Not kidding. This is big time bad guy music. When you’re writing the villain of your story, this is … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Hi all, so this is somewhat outside of my normal post, but I wanted to put this one on display! So far, everything I’ve heard from Metalite (which is an appropriate name) I’ve heard is terrific. I highly recommend looking into them and placing a pre-order if you like what you hear! This guys are literally brand new and I really want to … Read More SOON TO BE… From My Writing Playlist
