That I'll be posting some more morsels of stories. That would be fun, wouldn't it? Now I just have to decide what to post...
I want to post the short story that I referenced here in a previous post. The story is set to "Howl" which is track number four. I'm not sure if I have the rights to post it.
?
Someone please inform me. I think it's okay, but I would like to know for sure.

Soundtracks
Whenever I write, I see what I'm writing like a movie.
Not only that, but I cast my stories like movies and I make playlists on my iPod for the soundtracks. Call me crazy, but it makes me feel like I'm rounding out my stories a little better.
For the Alex story, I have a 162 song playlist for writing and a 16 song playlist for what I really think fits the plot.
I used to be worse. I used to make playlists for each character, and then it was each chapter, and then I just gave up and made it for the whole book. If I feel like not being lazy, I might post the 16 song list, but no one would really care.

Author Talks
Author talks are probably some of my favorite things to do in the wide world.
I had an author talk with my actress friend on Thursday last week. She's working on a fantasy/medieval/renaissance story and we had to develop a horse theft. My little silver voice recorder really came in handy for that, because all you have to do is talk and then you can take as long as you want to write the conversation down, and pause and replay etc.
While I was at chez ukulele fille, I started another series. Don't worry, it isn't a book series. I'm trying my hand at short stories. Not what I used to call short stories (23 pages, min) but really short things, like 2 pages long. So I'm drawing inspiration from this album:

My bubbly friend and I are attempting to write a comic book, which isn't the best idea because we both have so much more stuff to do, but I'm game. It's a sort of alternate universe weird, Gotham city thing with a bunch of underage criminals and a psychic poker player.
And lastly, my ukulele-playing friend and I did some short story critiquing. She was very brave to do this with me because last time we did critiquing, I threw a laptop at her. She just churns out short stories like...a machine, and they are all fantastic. Very dark, very real subject matter. And fairies. Quite well written fairies.

For those who listen to music, listen to this. Yes, yes.
