From My Writing Playlist #Metal #Music #Inspiration #Writing

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 #Metal #Music #Inspiration #Writing

My Writing Playlist. #Music #Metal #Writing

  Nothing about this isn’t absolutely epic. This was a video I discovered online long ago and was instantly hooked. I’ve since seen them live in concert and admit to being a huge fan. How do I describe their music? Slipknot if they hired Rihanna as their lead singer. When to listen to this song? Climax buildup, or perhaps during the final battle! Readers, … Read More My Writing Playlist. #Music #Metal #Writing

LOVE this. Just bought this album. I was actually worried about Dragonforce. Their previous album wasn’t that great. This one… pure 80s cheese and I love it!! When to listen: General playlist, as with most Dragonforce songs. This is some good positive energy. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

From My Writing Playlist #Metal #Avantasia #Writing #Storytelling

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 #Metal #Avantasia #Writing #Storytelling

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 (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

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

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?

Off My Writing Playlist

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
