Tech Continuity = Writing Continuity #Writing #Author #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

WHY ARE THESE NOT CONSIDERED CLASSICS!?!? I hear a lot of the classics stations play things from Motley Crew to Black Sabbath, but never Maiden… WHY!? When to Listen:  This is coffee music for me. When I sit down to start writing, I put on music with intense power like this. It gives me the push to get going. Readers, Do you have a … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Writing #Advice

I love Maiden. There really isn’t anything else that needs to be said here. When to Listen:  Brainstorming characters. There’s a lot of good material, both dark and light in this song. Try listening to the melody and create a character. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

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 swear if Gloryhammer’s albums were turned into movies, they’d rival Return of the King! When to Listen:  This is a character creation song. Sit back, close your eyes and listen. While processing the melody, visualize what kind of character could be created from this. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?
