Power of Music

Today as I was coming home from the library I once more was reminded on how powerful music is. (I seem to be going more and more to the library since Natalie stopped working to be a stay at home mom. The extra money for books is not there. So glad I have a library card)
I had picked up a few new books as well as the sound track from Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
As I put the cd in the player to listen on the way home the first song was where the little boy starts to sing yo ho then the group joins in. I was instantly taken in my mind to the scene in the movie and felt once more the power of it.
Wow that happens seldom but when it does it is great.

Another book done reading

So I finished the new Terry Brooks book that ends his Shannara set. I was OK with most of it. Sometimes lately it seems that he has a set formula and cranks out a book a year according to it. Well it works cuz I will still read every book he does and once they hit paperback i will buy it.

I have now decided to start a new series called Fablehaven that I have heard great praise about.

I also am still sketching out my own outline and plan on start writing this weekend.

long wait over

I have a few set of books that I can hardly wait until the next comes out. Harry Potter was one of these. I was very sad as I ffinished the last one and knew that there were no others.
Terry Brooks is another one I follow with great anticipation. The problem I have is that once the newest comes out I devour it and then begins the long wait for the next book.

Dreams do come true!

We spent this past week in Disneyland and had a ball. I love the feeling I get when we enter the front gates. I love seeing my wife get a tear in her eye as we watch the parade.
It is very uplifting for me to think that all this magic happened because of one mans dream.
Dreams do happen and come true if you work at them.
The trick is doing the work and then accepting the results and reworking if needed. Isn’t it the same in writing? Some dreams make it big time, others are just appreciated by as few

The best place in the world!

Tonight I will find it hard to sleep since come early morning we will be heading to Disneyland. (yup, I am just like the TV commercial where they are too excited to sleep).
I love going there. I love seeing my wife enjoy being there so much. I think that is half of the enjoyment.
I have planned on taking a few moments to write a few things while there. I will of course post pics.

Later
