I cannot speak for all authors, but music supports my writing. When I envision a battle scene I might just play one of the Lord of the Rings symphony music pieces, such as the Lighting of the Beacons, the Ride of the Rohirrim, or the Last March of the Ents. […]
I was refreshed recently by a British chap who took me to new heights of bantering. He reminded me of the old days of Monty Python’s humor. If you tried to outdo or “one up” the other, they would reply brilliantly back. I miss the days of old where men […]
