Ecchi: Junjo Romantica
More yaoi. This is the BEST yaoi I have read (manga was put out by Tokyopop) and watched in the longest time. The story is in-depth. The characters are real and dynamic. You laugh and cry with them through this whole series. Very worth watching for any yaoi fan. Even though it isn't graphic that doesn't mean it isn't hot.

Q&A: Next Romance Trend?
I have a very simple belief that I think has very substantial evidence. The popular Romance sub-genre trend directly coincides with what's popular in movies and TV at the moment. Being about to predict Romance trends is like playing the stock market. If you can do it and supply that demand, then you'll always be a top seller.
Now I'm not doing this to be a top seller since the next trend I'm

Writing Advice: Synopsis
Since I said a bad word last week, I might as well drop the other one this week -- SYNOPSIS.
*waits for the screaming and teeth gnashing to stop*
Done? Okay. Moving on. The only thing authors hate as much, if not more, than a query letter is a synopsis. Yeah, yeah. We all hate it but get over it since it's a necessary evil in this career.
I'm going to make this simple yet again. And like last

Music: Bartholomew
You'll recognize this song if you've seen the promos from the new TNT show Hatfields and the McCoys. I heard it in the theaters so many times that it grew on me.
BARTHOLOMEW by The Silent Comedy
This puts me in a gritty mood. Not sure if I can describe it better than that, but this is the type of song I'll be playing when my characters would need to dig deep for the strength to do something

Brave (Animation, Action/Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Family - PG):
When I saw the first trailer for this, after the teaser, I was still out. I was happy Pixar was releasing a movie but the plot didn't interest me. Then I saw the Japanese trailer (below). WTH!? Why didn't they air that in the US? Everyone who has seen this trailer has totally changed their mind
