Music of the Heart

No Gravatar

Music plays a huge part in my writing. It helps me zone out, keeps me writing when I sometimes lose the motivation and sometimes, even connects me to the story more. Some songs resonate hard with me and become favorite songs that I play over and over, they mean more to me than necessarily the story or characters. More often than not, I listen to techno music that's upbeat and totally dance worthy (even though I'm not the dancer in the family, that's my daughter).  Techno music is my ultimate ...

Brain Farts & Reader Fails

No Gravatar

I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth, I swear. I've been busy putting the finishing touching on my sci-fi romance (which I just finished those last touches on last night) so I could get it off for submission and have another story waiting in the wings for me to start editing. For those that don't know what I classify the difference as:

Revisions = I think something doesn't work

Edit = I had a brain fart or my fingers and brain weren't communicating very well
