Writing and Music

I wish there was a way to include a soundtrack with books. I write to music. It not only sets a backdrop for typing words on a screen, but it provides a rhythm and attitude influencing what I write and put words together.

I wish there was a way for you to hear what I hear, while you read what I wrote.

Perhaps it would be in the margins.

Chapter 12 - (gnarles barkely- going on) etc.

I was tempted to put a playlist at the beginning of the TOC.
But the truth is, you need to hear your own music with the words. Frankly, I hope that you hear your own meaning with the words as well. At least to some extent. Because my meaning is superior to your, of course. I mean, if you are going to read my book and listen to Jessica Simpson, well... I just can't imagine such a thing.

Coming down from Writing the books

I will be blogging more on ministry soon. Writing two books on youth ministry left me without words for this venue. But I can feel them coming back.

Blog Bummed

Ok.
So somehow I've deleted my comment from my template.
I think this happened when I got rid of the "click comments" I was using for a while.
Now I'd like to move to a new template, but one of the standard blogspot templates feels like it would be a step back.

Any advice?
