A blog, generally about music, usually for projects hosted by Jeff. I may also write about the 48-Hour Media Prompt Challenge if I don't feel like writing a story or poem inspired by the given song. Other bits of poetry or different topics of discussion might end up here as well.
This is the poem which earned my blog its green ribbon, courtesy Brian K Compton
"Renewal"
Radioactive was played on a loop in stores like Walmart, grocery stores, even Staples! It still pops in my head like a brain worm I can't shake. However, I have a couple daughters living in CA who would always go to ID's concerts whenever they were in the area.
But yeah, music does attach to us in a way that's undeniable. I love background music when I'm doing stuff. It seems to make chores less "chorey." . Writing with music playing, I believe, heightens the creative output.
Very cool and creative! I love the transparent handwriting layered over the selfie. Words, music and art are woven within your life--I see that clearly here.
It was delightful learning how you were so focused on cover design, characters, even the dog! You are quite the planner. Yet you found a different path rather than continuing a novel. I think short stories can be fascinating. I call them lunch-break reads. They aren't too cumbersome to read in a short time. And, they don't pull you into wanting to read more than lunchtime allows. One could lose their job if that happened. I know, I kid a bit. Books are great before bedtime. That's when I do my novel reading.
You do so many short stories here. I can see your passion for writing them.
Thank you for sharing that book, to cover, to short stories, experience. Music is a fantastic backdrop to writing. I do enjoy music.
My upbringing was impoverished in different ways. One thing we may have in common is that I was not allowed to swear. Not a bad thing... but when I learned how to swear it was like a damn broke (yes, damn not dam). These days, I don't swear much but when I let go...
Music does speak to me. Which may be why I prefer silence.
A song from my childhood... Handel's Largo from Xerxes:
It's amazing how a piece of music can really speak to our souls at a certain time in our lives. My song that follows me around is from Duran Duran. I've always loved Simon LeBon's word play. The song is "Lonely in Your Nightmare."
Humming Bird I never will, Inshallah, but I always think about it because I’ve seen several people who were well loved here simply disappear, taking their beautiful things with them. I don’t want that to happen with me
