My Writing Playlist
I've never actually posted one with regards to what I was writing, but I got a little inspired yesterday, with all my sharing and so I thought I'd share some more...These songs I find either inspiring in some way or are relevant to my manuscript's theme...I'm sure I'll add more songs to this list as my mood, or the story progresses...
Fools Rush, Where Angels Fear
Often times when writing and the words sort of begin to feel stale or the flow feels off I'll take myself on a virtual field trip.
I saw this photograph while searching for inspiration. Often times when writing and the words sort of begin to feel stale or the flow feels off I'll take myself on a virtual field trip. I came across this photograph and it spoke to me, because, in a round about way it very much reflects what I was writing about...Funny how things like that happen...Huh?
love & inspiration,

To Inspire...
My friend Donna (who I've not had the pleasure of meeting in real life) wrote me on facebook the other day to tell me the post I wrote about my grandmother inspired her to write about her own grandmother. I can't think of a greater honor than being someone's inspiration no matter how big or small.Thank you for reading and for allowing me the privilege of lending a bit of inspiration.love and inspiration,

Pesky Void-Ya know?
This last week I was playing catch up with reviews and my life in general. The last month and a half was so crazy. I know I haven't written much on the personal side and I wholeheartedly thank those of you who stuck around. Much has been going on-but nothing that is really all that interesting. As much as I would love to bore you with the mundane details of my life like paint colors, dirty diapers, and booger filled noses, I just don't think you would find it all that interesting. Or would you?I will be making more personal posts in the near future as well as posting a few vlogs.Lately...when I'm not writing, I feel as if something is missing. Like I should be doing something other than the things I'm doing. I have a story to tell and I'm going to go now and write a bit of it and fill up that pesky void.I leave you with this song. It's my inspiration for today. How could these lyrics not inspire?
I assemble all the sand that cover wedding beachesTo build a castle so your mom would have a place to stayBehind the water slide and down the hill where heaven reachesLand and time is left to float away (yeah)
