All public speakers have some level of rhetorical legerdemain they employ, and they all get annoying when overexposed. As for items ending in 'ly,' a rather interesting book I read on the topic of Showing, not Telling, "-ly" is the easiest thing to search for to find times when you are telling. "He walked happily through the field" vs. "He skipped through the field with a grin." The first one I told you he was happy, the second one I showed you through his actions and description that he was happy. That was another thought-provoking article @Comicality Thanks! This ties in heavily with showing and not telling.

I stumbled back across this song last night. It still blows my mind that a heavy metal band did a cover of a Simon and Garfunkel classic. And did such an outstanding job. And damn if the message behind the song still doesn't ring true today... no one is listening to each other. Disturbed - The Sound of Silence. Damn, does David Draiman have a set of pipes.

Steve Perry - I Stand Alone (from Quest for Camelot. I just love Steve Perry's voice in this song)

I'm trying. I'm in a totally different place in life then when I was writing this. I do want to finish it and I need to finish it. But with working from home, I'm stuck at my home desk for 45 hours a week and I don't want to spend any more time at it to write. To say nothing of the time I spend supporting the site.

Just name a category something like "general" or whatever would fit. Categories are a new feature of blog that can't be turned off. So, you have to enter something. (or select something you've entered before once you've created something)

Another great tip. Thanks @Comicality. I have added tension at the end of chapters before. Though I don't think I'd go so far as calling them cliffhangers.

I think the music video turned out better than the movie here... Florence and the Machine - Breath of Life

I'm not much into the real person FanFic, though I will admit a guilty pleasure of reading the Boy-Band section of Nifty in the 90's. And all those stories were right! Lance Bass from NSYNC was gay. lol. Now, I certainly use pictures of actors and what not as inspiration for characters, but that's not a FanFic.

@Comicality pointed out Two Steps from Hell to me a number of years ago. This song is uplifting and if you want to see a cool way the used, check out the Mass Effect 3 launch trailer from 2012.
