All The Write Notes: January 2013
http://allthewritenotes.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 January 2013. 6 Things I Learned When I Couldn't Stop Listening to The Who. Once I was a misanthropic college student who was obsessed with The Who. Rather than narrowing my musical horizons, it wound up expanding my life in ways I couldn't have imagined at the time. Here are the six most valuable things I learned while indulging my musical fixation with "maximum R&B":. How to have style. How to feel angry. How to have an adventure. That famous people are just people. I didn't anticipate mak...

All The Write Notes: Are You Trying to be the Singer, Songwriter and Producer?
http://allthewritenotes.blogspot.com/2013/06/are-you-trying-to-be-singer-songwriter.html
Monday, 3 June 2013. Are You Trying to be the Singer, Songwriter and Producer? When I was little, I had this idea that singers always wrote their own songs. I thought it was incredible that one person could write, sing, arrange and produce a song or a whole album. Of course, I grew up and learned that was not how it worked. It takes a whole team of people, normally, to write hit songs–or any song, for that matter. You have the artist, the songwriters, the musicians, the producers, etc. Talk to people abo...

All The Write Notes: The Lost Art of The Mix-Tape
http://allthewritenotes.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-lost-art-of-mix-tape.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. The Lost Art of The Mix-Tape. I'm going to date myself here and tell you, I'm a child of the 80's. There were many great things about the 80's and none of them include mall bangs, wearing two pairs of socks at the same time or biker shorts. The list of good things is long, but at the top of it for me is the mixed-tape. But this all began with the mixed-tape. So what makes the mixed-tape such an art form? Lastly, the cover art. Did you list out the songs? Now of course, I make play...

All The Write Notes: Setting the Stage with Music
http://allthewritenotes.blogspot.com/2013/06/setting-stage-with-music.html
Monday, 24 June 2013. Setting the Stage with Music. Listening to music that echoes the ambiance of the setting helps me create a more believable story by infusing the feels from the music into my manuscript. It also helps me create a more authentic response from my main characters thus making my readers FEEL. And that's what it's all about - making a reader feel something. So, I thought I'd share with you a few songs that have been helping me create different environments, whether I'm writing or outlining.

Hanging On To Wonder: Get to Know Kristin Reynolds - My 2014 Pitchwars Mentee - Author of LE CIRQUE DU LITERATI
http://jayerobinbrown.blogspot.com/2014/11/get-to-know-kristin-reynolds-my-2014.html
Sunday, November 2, 2014. Get to Know Kristin Reynolds - My 2014 Pitchwars Mentee - Author of LE CIRQUE DU LITERATI. With my second year as a mentor in Pitchwars, I entered the contest excited and hopeful and curious, oh so curious, about which manuscripts would claw their way into my heart and not let go. The two that I found, couldn't be more different in tone and writing style, but what they share is a common language of finding personal truths, love, hope, and a slathering of bittersweet despair.
