30 Day Song Challenge – Day 17
Day 17 - A song that you often hear on the radio Again, quite a choice, but here's one I like from a chick who's a bit nuts but writes a good tune regardless. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
30 Day Song Challenge – Day 16
Day 16 - A song you used to love but now you hate Can't think of any song I loved that I hate now but here's one I can't listen to because it reminds me of my grandparents and makes me all sad. Robbie Williams - Nan's Song
Inspiration
Now that the Royal Wedding is over, I have to turn my attention back to my main obsession in life, writing. Shadow Kin's world is not quite ours but a close-ish relative. It's also a world with a victorian-ish era level of tech. It's not steampunk, for one thing,...
30 Day Song Challenge – Day 15
Day 15 - A song that describes you Well, that could be any number of songs on any given day. So here's one for today. From a singer who kicks butt live or otherwise. P!nk - I'm Not Dead
Another step
I handed my copy edits in today which means I'll only get to see Shadow Kin one more time before it's in print, when I do page proofs. At the page proof stage, you're only really meant to fix errors, not make any significant changes in the text, so this was really the...
30 Day Song Challenge Day 14
Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love I've never been a heavy rock type gal but will admit to a soft spot for the Cult's Sonic Temple album. And this is my fave song from it (couldn't find a good vid, sorry). The Cult - Fire Woman
30 Day Song Challenge Day 13
Day 13 - A song that's a guilty pleasure I kind of have an issue with the concept of books/movies/songs being guilty pleasures. If you like it, you like it and who cares what other people think? Nothing wrong with pop music, romance novels (or any genre fiction) or...
30 Day Song Challenge Day 12
Day 12 - A song from a band you hate Hate is a strong word but here's a band whose music just never did it for me. Music, like writing, is all about connecting with the voice and the rhythm of a piece and all I can see is that this band doesn't play in my key.
30 Day Song Challenge Day 11
Day 11 - A song from your favourite band Another one from my Irish boys...a live version because they do live so well (awww, baby Bono and Edge). The album version is also pretty damned good. A song that suits my mood today. U2 - Bad
Better late than never
Apologies, apologies, I've been promising this all month I know but the last few weeks have been the perfect storm of travel then the cold from Hades then losing my dear old orange cat and then copyedits for Shadow Kin. So haven't quite got to the Aussie Author Month...
