I love music. Always have, always will. Short of some of today’s questionable songs, my 2100 iTunes song library is an eclectic selection that defies summarization under any single music genre. Like many writers, for me, music inspires ideas, guides the writing tempo, and is fuel for the […]
They say—and honestly, I don’t know who “they” are, but everyone seems to think “they” are wise—that as a writer, your blog should have both purpose and formula. In other words, as the writer/blogger, I’m not just here to “talk.” I am here to gain something. I believe […]
