Fighting The Man Mixtape

I recently met a genre author at a booksigning a few days ago, the writer of The Molotov Box, Daniel Johnson. Now, I don't know how much he liked the idea of being referred to as a "genre author", but as I shook the man's hand, I told him that was pretty much the reason I had came to see him. He, along with Mark Greaney(Author of The Gray Man series of novels) are probably two of the local writers closest to where I'm trying to get to, as far as my writing career, in a sea of cookbook, romance, and children's book writers. I still hold out hope that I will meet maybe Stephen King, John Grisham, Clive Crussler, Micheal Connelley, Jim Butcher...who are even closer to where I'm trying to get to.


This entry is basically putting together a playlist dealing with my second planned novel, which will be a different series from my current one. I always have different musical cues in my head for different things, like ideas for storyarcs, characters, subplots, you name it. That's what this playlist comes from. So, without further adieu, let's get this started:

Dusty Video Box Presents: The Blue Playlist

Being a writer can be somewhat frustrating, especially when I can't really talk about my projects with anyone in depth, let along even utter the names of the characters without a mountain of intelletual property protection. So instead, I've decided to put together a Youtube playlist for you guys to rock out on, basically the same playlist I'm using for inspiration for my current novel project. These songs are various J-Pop and J-Rock songs, pop songs and rock songs from Japan. Yeah, they might not be in English...but who has to totally understand the words to jam?! I mean, do you get mad at instrumental music because there are no words? Anyway...enjoy The Blue Playlist!
