Being a total music junkie (yes, look at my blog posts because the majority are devoted to music), I can listen to just about anything, although my preference is metal and hard rock. Through Sissy, I was introduced to sixties rock, sixties girl groups, and Neil Diamond. Uh huh, my seventeen-year-old heroine digs Neil. So …
Yes, I thought I’d take a quick break from my NaNo project in order to blog. This is my second year and I’m ahead of the game at 31,356 words so far—or something like that (I’d have to check). According to the NaNo stat thingie, I should finish on November 23rd. Would be nice. Hopefully …
One perk I love about drafting a novel is figuring out what interests my characters, such as movies, music, clothes, etc. For NaNoWriMo, I’m drafting Always (working title for now). Taking place in the 80s, Lisa is a spunky chickie who is loyal to her girlfriends and all about showing some skin. Her philosophy is: …

Heroes, they come in all shapes and forms. Max Rockatansky from the Mad Max trilogy doesn’t want to be anyone’s saviour. A simple man, he desires to survive in a wasteland world and nothing more. Hero? Companionship? No thanks. His blue heeler is sufficient company. Then there’s Kyle Reese, a brave, intelligent, and dedicated fighter …
As a fellow Canuck, I must say Shania didn’t mess around when she asked this question. In some romances, not all, but some, the protagonist either cheats, is cheated on, or finds him or herself in a love triangle. As I did before, I’m not trying for the obvious and will provide a YouTube link—if …
Music to write a sad break-up or a strained relationship to.
