HAPPY NEW YEAR - with MUSIC

Just a quick break from my revisions (work) hiatus to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR with music!

Please do click on the word "music" above to link to some WONDERFUL songs I have been using to write by.

Courtesy of mediabistro.com/galleycat columnist Jason Boog, who was kind enough to include my favorite music clips in a Dec. 31 article on music for writers.

Thank you, Jason.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I listen to classic music - Baroque, anything - not because I am high brow or educated or classy, but because I read an article a long time ago that said that Baroque music stimulated your brain. Or Blondie's Greatest Hits. one or the other.

Pink Floyd and Enya for me, to start with anyway. Then I get really busy and go for clasical, or new age with no lyrics.

Seriously though, I can tune out anything and only notice when the silence hits.

Happy New Year to all, and good luck with the writing/revising.

Happy New Year, Ghost!

My writing music is, depending on my frame of mind, one of: drum&bass, downtempo trance/chill, or Goa trance (waaayyy uptempo).

Happy New Year all!

Baroque or Blondie, rodeo Princess? Hmmm... Deborah Harry it is. :-)

Donna: Pink Floyd (I know I'm supposed to think of The Wall, but I also get a picture of the barber on Andy Griffith wearing a dress).

FarF, Goa Trance! Clearly much research is required on my part.

True confession: I do once in a while plug in Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell album just to wake up when I start to work at word stuff.

Beach Baby Beth -- I'm sure.

Sorry to be so absent of late. Revisions are tough. Everything suddenly seems critical or something when I thought I was supposed to be having fun. Dang.

My deadline is Jan 15th (and I still have lots to do yet) ... so off I go back into my shed for a couple weeks.

Thanks for saying hello.

Hey Randy,

Where do you get all those great ghost pictures? They're quite cool.

Gordon, photos are from "Getty Images". Try a google on them. Lots of neat stuff there and one-time use in small format is very very cheap.

They charge a bit more if you want to use one for a bookcover, but some people do find bookcover worthy photos there.

Also, their archives are searchable by topic.
