Music and Writing

My twitter friend Loren has been very busy lately. His music is always wonderful and inspirational. He has a CD coming out this August. If you have never heard his music here is a link to his website. Here is the link: http://www.lorendigiorgi.com/home.html Please visit and listen to some of his music. I guarantee you will just as inspired by his talent as I am. One of my favorite quotes reminds me of Loren’s music: "Music is well said to be the speech of angels." ~T.Carlyle.

Also, I want to tell you about a great guy named, Christopher Laney, who critiqued the first chapter of my book. Not only did he show me where my writing could be “tweaked and tightened” to make it better, he even spent over an hour with me on the phone Saturday giving me advice. I will forever be in his debt for the time he spent to help me better understand areas of my writing that I need to work on. Here is a link to his website: www.lessonsfromthecockpit.com Go there…learn…be inspired. Chris also mentors new writers, which is just another example of a nice guy who “pays it forward”.

Now, readers, you have two awesome websites to check out; I hope you will pay them a visit this week.
Ciao!

Drew Dawson Davis Fan

Hello everyone, I know I've told you all that I'm taking a break from Twitter, Facebook and blogging to put focus on finishing book #2 and #3, but I have to share with you another web gem. I stumbled upon a talented singer on YouTube one evening and his voice just blew me away. His name is Drew Dawson Davis . I was searching for music to help me feel one of the characters in my book, so I was looking for a particular song which just happened to be Garth Brook's Shameless. I know, I know, ew! It's country music. Whatever. :P Intrigued, I began checking out each of his videos and now I have listened to each of his posted videos repeatedly. They have become a musical muse for working on. If you get a chance, check him out (and no, not all of his music is country). Here is a link to Drew Dawson Davis "Shameless" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0 Ciao for now!

Web Gems

I love to find fun websites on the internet. Here are two sites I found this week. This first one is hilarious and someone could spend hours just reading through the funny, interesting, weird, disgusting, and sometimes “down right wtf were they thinking” text. This website is Txts Frm Lst Nght (Text From Last Night). Now I know we all have sent a text to someone that once we hit the “send” button we wished there was a “retrieve” button. This website showcases text messages sent that I am sure the sender wished they would not have sent. Lucky for us, the gracious recipient of the text message thought that the world would be a better place if they shared it with everyone. Not only does it exhibit the uncomfortable display of bad spelling, compromising situations and/or embarrassing circumstances, but you the reader also get a chance to reply and grade the text message. Talk about adding insult to injury, but it’s all in fun and (I hope) no one gets hurt. If you feel venturous here is the

Short Story: Contentment

The tall grassy meadow waved soft in the wind, rippling as if it were waves on the ocean. This was her favorite place to escape from the never ending house chores. Here she could sink down into the earthy scent of wild flowers and sweet grass. Her small frame was easily hidden by the towering grass as she reclined back into the green yielding mass. With her hands behind her head she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. Birds chirped happily nearby adding to her blissful contentment, while the tinkling brook tried to lull her to sleep. She resisted the urge to drift off with the soothing water that lapped against the rocks. Being a young housemaid, liberties like these were few but treasured moments. She smiled thinking ‘Oh, how wonderful would it be to be one of the wealthy privileged. I would surely do this every day if I could.’ She didn’t feel jealousy towards her employer or his friends. Actually just the opposite, she felt very lucky to have her position in his fine house, especial
