marcoujor: Musical Intermission - "A"

10/24/2018

16 Comments

 
Picture
Having just published my third book, A Toolbox for Novice Nurses from A to Z, I have come to the following realizations:

1- I love to write. I especially love writing books.

​2- Each of my books has taken me time and patience - with myself and technology.

​Over this past week, I have had two competing thoughts / ideas for my "next" book - one being fictional and the other a memoir style.

​I'd rather not share these ideas until they are more formalized in my mind. 

Once I'm on a roll, I'll share some snippets with you on this website to get your reactions / feedback.

​Along the way, I'd like to keep up my weekly publishing schedule with a "Musical Intermission" from A to Z. If you notice, these four songs all start with the letter "A".

​Each week, I will share four wildly different musical selections that are: old, new, borrowed and blue...! 

S​omething Old:

Songs I remember from my childhood that my parents and siblings listened to.
Something New:

Songs that are currently playing on the radio - hoping to introduce you to some new musical artists over the weeks.
Something Borrowed:

Songs by artists that friends have recommended to me.  Thanks, Martie ... :)
Something Blue:

I do love the Blues ... and plan to share some of the finest names in the genre here with you.

Until next "B" week, wishing you a song in your heart and peace, mar

Congratulations to you as you begin a new writing journey. Nice to hear that you still love to write. Looking forward to number four. Now going to listen to Neil Diamond for morning inspiration.

I don't think I have to tell you how much I enjoy Wednesday e-mail. Have you ever heard or heard of Straight No Chase? They are great. They do remakes and mixes of many different songs. Check them out. I was thrilled with my little package from you. Char has it, so I guess I will read it when she is done. Love ya.

Hi Bob,
You are so sweet - thank you!
I have not heard of Straight No Chase and will absolutely be checking them out.
Hoping Char (and you, eventually) will enjoy my book.
Love you both too, Maria

Dear Mar

Your idea of two new books is truly admirable. I envy you! Please send me some of your energy :)

I love the songs in here - and your idea - Something old.... new... borrowed ... [hey, that's my name!] :))))

Sending you tons of hugs, you beautiful soul ♥

I LOVE your book! Thank you! And this post is fun. I love the musical intermissions. Hehe. Very clever way of putting it all together.
I still think I want to write some sort of visionary fiction novel sometime, but I haven't had the "right" idea and I'm so much stronger in non-fiction. But I hear you. Once you do one, you feel the call to do more. :)
Sending you hugs and wishing you a wonderful week!

Dear Cynthia,

So thrilled you LOVE my book - that means the world to me.

You have a special gift with your visionary fiction - I am hoping at some point you will be inspired to write that novel, amidst all the other wonderful things you are doing, of course!

Hope you are having a peaceful week. Love, Maria

Mar, I look forward to seeing where your next writing venture takes you. You know I'm partial to fiction. Hint hint.

I love your musical interludes. They help me get thru lunch hours. You offer such a wide variety. Many times you introduce me to someone or a band I never heard before. Thank for that!

Love,
Sha

Ah wonderful, dear Sha. I love introducing friends to new and wonderful music.

I will keep your preference in mind - it's been awhile since I've flexed my fictional muscles.

Love you and hugs too, mar

    Welcome to my desk...

    I am a work in progress, so a rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected every week!

    Pull up a comfy chair and make yourself at home.

    Thank you,
