Fun Stuff

Playlist

I like to create playlists for stories I write. It’s not only great procrastination, but it helps ground me in my character’s world.

I have a novel in verse that takes place in 1955 Chicago. This is part of my playlist.

• That’s Alright (Mama ) by Elvis Presley
• Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes
• Lollipop by The Chordettes
• Shake, Rattle, & Roll by Bill Haley and His Comets
• Sh Boom the Crew Cuts
• I’ve Got the World on a String by Frank Sinatra
• In the Still of the Night by The Five Satins
• Someone to Watch Over Me by Frank Sinatra

Killed Darlings

Movies have deleted scenes. Books have killed darlings. Though my verse novel is trying to find a home, I’ve already done a lot of rewrites and revisions. Some of these babies were hard to cut, so they can live here.
