That's probably a sign I'm pretty cranky. :) Then he'll wrangle the kids off and I'll spend however long he can manage just typing down words.<br /><br />Heh, that new release by Robyn sounds pretty cool. <br /><br />I'm hoping I can write and submit something for the anthology. But no stories are quiet popping to mind with the theme.

Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something, I'd love to contribute. ^_^<br /><br />And I don't know if there's any one particular type or genre of music that moves me the most; I listen to a variety of stuff and it really depends on my mood or what I'm trying to write. I think it's more about particular bands - I've written more books to U2 than any other music.Mason T.
