Next up on the playlist is a song that… well you really don’t need a Holiday as an excuse to listen to this one… Not the most politically correct song, but I can’t tell you how many drunken karaoke nights I’ve done around the Holiday where me and a few friends got up and sang this one… no I do not have video. When … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

I love this song. It’s a sweet melody sung by one of my favorite female volcalists: Elize Ryd (Amaranthe), as well as the singer from Sonata Artica. When to listen: Whenever. This is a song about togetherness. Listen to it during a scene where your characters share a moment, or even on the general playlist! Readers, Do you have a question about writing, … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

Hi All, As most of you know, I am very much so a big child care and protection advocate. I’ve spent a lot of time working with children and though I don’t lay that aspect on in my novels (I don’t like preaching at people), I still like to try to raise awareness for different issues where possible. As the Holiday season comes to … Read More For the Kids!

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

Heh… well this one should be a surprise to no one! When to listen: Um… I would say general playlist again. It’s a good song, but it should pretty much remain a song when you’re already typing and just need to keep the energy up. 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 (Christmas!) Playlist

I know, this technically doesn’t count because it’s a commercial jingle… but COME ON!!! This one was all over the place. It was never the Holidays when I was younger until I heard this song! I was so upset when they stopped playing it every year… Thank God for Youtube!!! When to Listen: Build up. This is a song that just fills you with anticipation … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

Hi Jim, I was reading some of the advice you’ve been giving out. I wanted to know what you think is the absolute worst thing a writer can do (besides giving up), when they go to get published? What is your #1 no-no? Best, Len Hi Len, I’m certain I’ve been asked this one before, and I’m also certain that I don’t remember what … Read More Writing for a Niche Audience, a guaranteed way to reduce your sales/exposure #Writing #Author #Advice

No Junjou Na Kanjou… let me come right out now and say this… I don’t speak Japanese. I never have. I tried to… but foreign languages are not my strong suit. I successfully learned Latin, and still botch it up on a regular basis when trying to speak it. Then what are you doing listening to this? Do you have to understand everything in … Read More Off My Writing Playlist #Music #Metal #Writing

Not a fan of Groban personally, but this is really the best version of this song I’ve heard. When to Listen: Touching scene for a touching song. This is one to listen to when you’re writing a solemn scene between some of your main characters. Something either before or after the big fight when they have some down time to express feelings. Readers, Do you … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist #Music #Writing

This song is dumb. I mean downright dumb. Listen to the lyrics and the horrible things that they say about Africa. I know… I know… they meant Ethiopia, but they didn’t say Ethiopia, they said Africa. “There’s a world outside your window, and it’s a world of dread and fear Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there’s death in every tear … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!)
