Friday's Inspiration

Before I tell you about today's awesome song choice, I just wanted to direct you to my new shiny blog roll. *sighs* isn't it pretty? Oh yeah, and I got a Facebook Author page, hop on over and check it out!

Moving on. One of my favorite bands is One Republic. I resisted buying their latest album simply because I had the first and I didn't want overkill on my iTunes. Well, after still liking 'Secrets' when it has been played to death on the radio, I gave in.

Today I'm going to share my new favorite song off that album. Can I just say I love Ryan Tedder's falsetto? Okay, done ranting. Here's the vid.

Ahhh, okay, I'm pretty sure I could listen to Secrets forever, but that's probably because I don't frequently listen to the radio, and so it hasn't had the chance to be murdered for me yet.

Also, I love the sigh. It's like a young crush. On your beautiful blog roll.

Oh, yes! There's so much ambient and moving about their music. I like to write to them, as well!

Good song--what's the title? I don't know One Republic very well. I tend to listen to music without words when I'm writing (classical, jazz, movie soundtracks, etc.)

Did I get you with that click-bait title? I always fall for those dang things. Anyway, this is a regularly (or not so regularly in my case) scheduled update. First and foremost I'd like to draw your attention to a fancy new box on the right-hand side. Yes, I'm starting a newsletter. As of now it won't be more than once a month. I'd love it if you signed up! And oh yeah: There will be a free novella if you sign up! Eventually, because I'm still working on it. Quality, folks. Second, I've started a review group on Facebook. If you like receive free copies of my books in exchange for a review, please contact me! (email: author.jabennett @ gmail.com) Third, I've update my books tab with links, so check that out too if you get a chance. Until next time!

The Noveling Journey

Image
cr: Diter Laskowski This past weekend I spent 10+ hours in a minivan with four small children. One of those children is only eighteen months old. On top of being squirmy, said child had started antibiotics for an ear infection only the day before. He can also scream very loud. As one must do with such an experience, I tried to find the positive. It was either that or breakdown and sob which wouldn't do anyone good. What I came to realize in the anxiety to and from my destination, was that I had been going about noveling all wrong. And trust me, it wasn't a negative thought. One thing I know about road trips is that if I want to get somewhere, I have to keep going. Stopping at Buc-ee's is really fun. It's great to stretch my legs and buy myself some beaver nuggets, but it's not going to get me anywhere. The longer I hang out at Buc-ee's, the later I'll show up. Writing is the same. Not for everyone, but for me it is. Social media is great. I actua...
