Authors and Their Music
After I wrote this post, I started thinking about the importance of music in author’s lives. If there is one other thing that seems to be the most important to an author besides the words they work with, it is the music they listen too. Famous authors down through the ages have listened to everything from pianoforte music, to Mozart, to indie bands and the Beatles to inspire them. And yes, even animals can help.
This New Year…
“Each New Year, we have before us a brand new book containing 365 blank pages. Let us fill them with all the forgotten things from last year—the words we forgot to say, the love we forgot to show, and the charity we forgot to offer.“
– Peggy Toney Horton
Writing Year in Review
Another New Year is upon us! In preparation for this coming year, I took a look at my writing goals from this past year which you can find in this post. I didn’t do as well as I hoped with my writing goals this past year, because of travel, unexpected work changes and schedules and everyday life! (Isn’t that the way it always seems to go? 🙂 )

Woods in Winter
Woods in Winter
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
When winter winds are piercing chill,
And through the hawthorn blows the gale,
With solemn feet I tread the hill,
That overbrows the lonely vale.
O’er the bare upland, and away
Through the long reach of desert woods,
The embracing sunbeams chastely play,
And gladden these deep solitudes.
