Wiley Wednesday
As a music lover, I’ve long noted a preference for male vocals. This fact became obvious when I tried listing female singers in my collection for a Thursday Thirteen. That effort reminded me of a very different voice – from the written word. Music is about the sound first and foremost, the story and emotion it carries like icing on the cake.The written word, for me, is different in that I don’t care about the voice telling the story. That doesn’t appear to be a popular notion these days but I stand by it. Tell your story however you will, from whatever POV, just give me believable characters in an interesting tale.
Opining about this during a personal dry writing spell, I guess my goal is partly to hush my own inner critic. I hope I’ve done the same for you and we’ll all get to enjoy more story. Happy writing!

Free Reads
Lately I’ve found myself gobbling up most everything slashy male on male written by Jet Mykles. Yesterday, I discovered her website features a stash of free stories, many a click away on the website Fiction with Friction.
While it is not family or work safe, I thought I’d plug her free reads today. If you like hot m/m action, check her out! In addition, you can read an interview she kindly granted me for the Nightlight blog here: Nightlight Featuring Jet Mykles
Happy reading!

Wiley Wednesday – Mechanics Over Muse
Often of late, it seems all my writing has been confined to emails for the day job. I’ve been going home without even the inspiration to sit in front of a keyboard or pad of paper. Despite this, I have made up my mind to look at the bright side.There are positive aspects to my daily tasks. For example, every email typed is given proper grammar and spelling. Many also take a special skill at diplomacy or succinct explanation. And there is some self expression involved, though neither particularly fun nor the least bit fictional. At least I am still honing my craft if only in a mundane way.
How about you? Are you up to anything interesting these days? If not, I hope you’ll take to heart that your creativity will eventually find a way of expression. While waiting for my own muse to take over and demand an out, I’ll work on the mechanics of writing.
In addition, I’ll try to keep my spirit primed by way of Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way”. That means artist’s dates to entertain my inner child and morning pages to channel negativity. Want to know more? You’ll find tons of resources on the web in general as well as this very blog. Whether or not you need the boost, I hope you’ll check out her valuable tools to creativity.
