Just saw this movie with my wife and… actually to my surprise, I really liked it. Hugh Jackman ruined Les Miserables and Oklahoma for me with his subpar singing, but he was actually very good in this one. Though… I have to admit, singers with more skill did it better! 🙂 When to Listen: This one is currently on my general playlist, though you … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

I know… I’ve been posting a few videos of these guys recently. He’s super talented and I love how he makes a lot of really dark songs even darker. Plus he ranges from metal to what sounds like 80s hair rock. When to Listen: Pure positive energy in this song. Even in the original, it was supercharged with a rush of positive force. Use … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

So this isn’t a Q&A post, but after watching a couple of my favorite Sci-Fi movies and reading, having nothing better to do… I noticed a glaring error in some of my favorites. While the story continuity in most was pretty good, I found problems in the technology that didn’t seem to match up too well. Instead of picking apart the writing of a … Read More Tech Continuity = Writing Continuity #Writing #Author #Advice

A Goofy Movie… This is IMHO one of the most underrated movies in the Disney library and it’s slowly being lost to obscurity. Yes it’s dated in 90s cheese, yes it’s a little off at times, but I still love it. This song was always great… and now it’s been turned into a rock cover. When to Listen: Pure positive energy!!! You need to … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice
