In my searches for interesting new music to listen to, I often find uplifting, dramatic, or exciting music, inspiring thoughts of battles, epic journeys and triumphant endings. But I’ve always found it difficult to locate much music good for sad or subdued moods and scenes. However, this week’s Writing Music piece, Whispers, from the musician Eurielle, is good for the type of scene...
In my post on Monday 4Reasons Why Everyone Needs a Writing Buddy, I mentioned that I and some on my writing friends had started a collaborative blog together. It’s called Young Writers’ Treehouse, and it’s run by young writers, for young writers. We’re very excited about it, and today I thought I’d share a little bit more about it. Young Writers’Treehouse is run...

Go / Foter / CC BY-NC I firmly believe that every writer should have at least one writing buddy, one of those magical beings who can fix your books in a single conversation and whose comfort is (almost) better than a mound of chocolate. Writing buddies come in all shapes and sizes, and help out in a lot of...
I’m racing towards the end of Camp NaNoWriMo at the moment, and while I’ve been slogging my way through an almost complete rewrite of my superhero/fairytale novel, Snow, I’ve been listening to a lot of music to help motivate and inspire me, especially on those late nights when the daily word goal hasn’t been met yet. Which means that I’ve also been trying...
Image Credit This Camp NaNoWriMo, I’ve been revising my superhero/fairytale retelling novel, Snow. Some of the best revelations in this draft have to do with my characters, who are revealing themselves to be much more complex people than originally expected. It also happens to be time for another Beautiful People link up. And what better way is there for me to share my...
I am a quote hoarder. I come across an amazing quote and I have to steal it, squirrel it away and bring out occasionally to stroke and admire. Some are inspirational, some are funny, and others sing to me with mystical music. All of them are precious to me. Today, as something a little different from the norm, I'd like to share a...
There are few things better than getting a whole stack of new books to read and love. My library trips are fairly epic in their book hauls if I do say so myself, mostly because, hey, free books! What’s not to like? Today I’m linking up with The Broke and the Bookish’s Top Ten Tuesday. This week’s prompt is the last ten books...
Original Image By Luke Pamer I’m in the middle of Camp NaNoWriMo at the moment, which means the writer has vanished into the cave of rewriting until the end of the month. But while I’m busy wrangling with stubborn plot points and obstinate characters, I’ve also been enjoying the blog posts of my fellow writerly bloggers. Today I’d like to share a round-up...
Photo credit: amador_emmanuel34 / Foter / CC BY-NC-SA As I mentioned in my post last week, I'm taking part in the July session of Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm rewriting my novel, Snow, which is a retelling of Snow White involving superheroes and epic plots. A couple of weeks ago, Heather@Sometimes I'm a Story tagged me for the 777 Tag, which requires me to go to...
In my quest for music outside of my usual artists, I’ve been exploring the work of smaller musicians, such as Matthias. I shared one of his songs a few weeks ago as part of my Romance Round-Up, which you can find here if you missed it, and I’ve been enjoying some of his other songs ever since. He only has a few on...
