The Writer’s Room

“You must keep sending work out. You must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you’re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success – but only if you persist.” -Isaac Asimov…

Press Play Friday: Imagine Dragons

It’s Time I really can’t remember much about my first meeting with Imagine Dragons, but I know we didn’t have the same relationship as we do now. We didn’t take to one another right away, which made me a little hesitant – as I usually am – to later reintroduce myself to these top-of-the-charts artists….

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “My Brother’s Keeper”

Feelings All right. Okay. Calm down. Let it all seep in for a minute. Breathe. I understand what you’re going through. Coherent thought has also left me in a lurch this morning. I just keep seeing aggressive tongue wrestling and shirt ripping. Also, I keep thinking I heard someone say something about a weird, new…

Florence + The Machine “Lover to Lover”

 Fire & Water I’ve been losing sleep. I’ve been keeping myself awake. I’ve been wandering the streets for days and days, and days. Going from row to row, bed to bed, lover to lover, and black to red. But I believe. I believe . . . there’s no salvation for me now; no space among…

A Very ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas

The Ice-Men Cometh ‘Twas one month before Christmas, when all through the house, not a sound could be heard, except the click of a mouse. She shook as she heard The Doctor on screen. “The trailer is here!” She shrieked and she screamed. Away to the computer, she flew like a flash. “I must tell…
