Music Monday and One Headlight
This is an oldie from The Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan’s band. I heard it again the other day and remembered how much I loved the guitar playing and the lyrics. Sexy and dark—the song is inspiring a story I’m writing now.
” …This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it burn
I’m so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the same …”
We sprang forward this weekend in parts of Canada, so spring should be around the corner. Yay! ;)

Music Monday with The Byrds and a Birthday Message
This will be my last Music Monday post as a forty-something woman.Yes, folks, tomorrow I cross over into another decade.
Holy crap! How old am I?
I’ve always loved this song written by Pete Seeger. With lyrics taken from theBook of Ecclesiastes, its message inspired my novella, A Season For Everything,considered one of my most moving stories about love and loss.
The song also hit the Top 100 Billboard charts in the year I was born. Don’t you just love serendipity?
“To everything – turn, turn, tur...

On the Subject of Self-Editing
I am a writer and a reader. On occasion, I am a reviewer, but one thing I can never be is an editor of my own work. Given that, I’d like to speak about self-editing, the important process I dobeforeI hand off my manuscript to a professional editor.
Even if you are an indie writer who does not use a professional editor for whatever reason, I hope the following information will be helpful for you.
Many writers hire two types of editors, and the same person can be both in some cases.

Music Monday is Gentle on my Mind
This is a song that Glen Campbell popularized. Performed here with the late great banjo player, John Hartford who wrote the song, and Ricky Skaggs on mandolin, it’s a wonderful rendition of “Gentle on my Mind.”
Glen Campbell came to mind after yesterday’s Academy Awards because one of his songs was nominated. Now stricken with Alzheimers, he wrote the song “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” for his family before he lost all his memories. It was performed at the Oscars by Tim McGraw. Though it did not wi...

Music Monday is Thinking Out Loud with @EdSheeran
I fell in love with this song when I saw Ed Sheeran perform it on the Grammys.
Beautiful music, lyrics, and video.
“…’Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen
And, baby, your smile’s forever in my mind and memory
I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it’s all part of a plan
Well, I’ll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you’ll understand …”
Enjoy, and have a great week everyone
