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.

Thank you, Jason.

Happy New Year to you and the bride, Ghostie!! Hope our paths will cross again in 2010.
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.
