As you probably know, I’m in the US and today is our Independence Day. Stay safe and have fun, but don’t forget to thank those who keep us this way.
And the flu eats a week of your life.
Posted: April 2, 2012 Filed under: Fight, Uncategorized | Tags: Fight, flu, sick Leave a commentI can only be thankful that I didn’t have a project I was working on, or a deadline I was rushing to make. That disease called the flu but which would be more accurately named Creeping Coughing Crud attack me last week and it took me down hard.
A week later I’m almost over the worst of it. I still have a slight, lingering cough and a bit of a phlegm problem but it no longer makes me break out in a sweat to cross the room, or to move more than 3 feet from where ever I’ve been sitting, and I’m able to sleep flat again. Which means I’m back to sleeping in my own bed, always a plus in my mind.
My kids have just started their spring break, which means I’ll get to start rewrites as soon as school is back, next week. I’m hoping that goes well, and I can get Fight published by the end of the summer.
Writing and Music
Posted: January 5, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: christian kane, five finger death punch, godsmack, jason aldean, music, Theory of a deadman, writing 4 CommentsI’ve learned in the few years that I’ve been writing seriously that music seems to help the process. Different types of music help in different ways, but they all help.
Up until this last summer I’ve listened to country music almost exclusively, but with some of the life events I found that I needed to change things up and I started asking friends for suggestions. Since then I’ve really expanded my music selection, and I’ve found that I have a fondness for music much harderthan I’ve ever listened to before.
While I still listen to artists like Jason Aldean and Christian Kane, I’ve discovered a love for Theory of a Deadman, Godsmack and Five Finger Death Punch to name a few.
I’ve also discovered that how you listen to the music makes a difference. For some reason, headphones work better for me than speakers, even if I’m the only one in the house and it’s blasting louder than I would set my headphones.
