• Let Go…

    November 15, 2011 /


    Music is a HUGE part of my writing process. Much to my husband’s displeasure, I often find a song and latch on, playing it on repeat incessantly.

    I’ve found a new song to do that with.

    I’m writing Wasteland 3 right now during NaNoWriMo. I’m having a BLAST over on Twitter while doing writing sprints.

    Even if you’re not a writer, you should follow #nanotramps on Twitter. It’s super fun! We sometimes put quotes up from the projects we’re working on…even though they are super rough drafts, we get a kick out of them sometimes.

    But anyway, back to my song–gosh I’m easily distracted–Let Go, by RED. Now, I sometimes surprise people by telling them I listen to this kind of music. Oh, and that I have three tattoos, but that’s a whole ‘nother post…

    This song, although it’s very hard rock, paints a great picture of Wasteland 3’s main character.

    But that’s all I can say about that for now…. **grin**

    As soon as I heard it, I knew it was for Wasteland 3. 🙂

  • Debate This…Hall & Oates

    November 14, 2011 /


    Hall & Oates is arguably the best duo out there. I know, I’m partial to the 80s music, but, really, what duos have made it the distance these guys have?

    Their talent is pretty much undisputed. Strong voices. Creative songs. Maybe not super good videos…but that’s okay in my book. Simple is just sometimes better.

    What duo do you think ranks up there as the best? No matter which generation they’re from.

  • Debate This…Vampires

    November 7, 2011 /


    It’s no secret I like Vampires. My Violet Night Trilogy is about them. Well, more Emma, who hunts them because Fate didn’t really give her a choice….

    So, when I heard Underworld FOURwas coming out, I had to bring the topic to Debate This.

    I think that series of movies is arguably one of the best ones out there. I know it’s subjective, just like the book industry, so I had to throw it out there.

    But first, check out the latest trailer:

    I must say, I was disappointed a certain Michael didn’t show up in this trailer….I’d so hoped he’d be in this one. I love Michael!

    The story behind these vampires and lycans is really unique and intriguing. I love it!

    But what do you think? What vampire movies are your favorites?

  • Throwback Thursday…Look Away…

    November 3, 2011 /


    Chicago is arguably one of the best groups from the 80s. Okay, they were around before that, but I remember them most from the 80s. Hard Habit to Break, Will You Still Love Me….and more.

    But…do you remember this song?
