#Musicforwriting.



I <3 Music. My writing playlist is approximmately 300+ songs long--and growing. 

I'm never far from my i-pod, and my taste varies from classical, to D&B, to metal, to pop, and back via country. There is literally a little bit of everything in there.

I've shared a few songs from my writing playlist on here before, so i thougt, why not make it a regular thing? 

So, here are three additions from this week!  




Hozier--take me to church. I got stuck on this song while I was editing for #pitchwars. I found it to be quite a powerful piece of music. It's one of those songs that only becomes more intense when you go and watch the video...



Pandora delivered this young lady to my ears. Jasmine Thompson. She has an album out called 'Another Bundle of Tantrums,' which is chock with covers. This particular one stood out for me--home--originally sung by Gabrielle Aplin. It might be because she says home the way I say home?





Tove Lo: Out of Mind. I can't think of anything to say about this one. It's on there with 'habits' also from Tove Lo's EP; Truth serum.


If you happen to have some sweet suggestions then please, send them my way!

Pitch Wars Preparation is underway!


This is just going to be a brief hoo-rah of what's happening in my world. I know I haven't posted anything in a while, and i'm sorry!! I've been pretty busy this month, but, 

Lots of exciting things are coming up!

Most importantly, Pitch wars. I’ve never entered before so I am super thrilled to be giving it a go. The line-up of mentors is incredible and I have no idea how I am going to pick four to submit to! (I think I have one or two definite picks!). So that’s August the 18th covered.


For those who don’t know what Pitch wars is, here is a link:



Tellan, at 85k words, is looking very svelt. I have been chopping and changing at the advice of some super helpful CP's, and I'm crossing my fingers that it will have a chance up against everyone elses super-fantastic manuscripts!

Anyway, wish me luck!
