Writer Rock Video: Eye of the Agent

Today, I was going to write something deep, profound, and inspiring for all you writers out there… but then I watched a video made by writer Jenny Martin and realized I could just rest on her heels today. She’s put all that deep, profound, and inspiring stuff in a fun rock video set to the music of Eye of the Tiger.

Eye of the Tiger was my favourite song as a kid. My brother dubbed it over and over and over again on my little red Lady and the Tramp cassette. So much for the We Siamese song or reading along with the book. It’s was all Eye of the Tiger, all the time.

Oh, the things us writers do to procrastinate.

Now, go forth and view this rock video. Now.

Good Links: January Edition/New Blogs Edition

Hi. Well, there goes January, eh? Spring is on the horizon, groundhogs rearing their funny shaped heads, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, whatever. Pull me out of my cave when the sun starts shining again.

As it turns out, I didn’t end up with a ton of good links for January. However, a nice handful of AQers (Agent Query members–writers) started blogs in January (or a month or two previous to that), so instead of sharing writing links this month, I will honour these brand new bloggers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kid’s Book Junky by Charlie Eve. This kids book review and news blog is not yet one month old, but will quickly become a resource for kid lit writers seeking industry news, as well as mothers seeking a good book for their youngsters.

Layinda’s Blog. This is another developing blog that is under a month old. Layinda discusses writing, contests and everything writing.

The Forever Blog by Shawna. Inspiration, motivation, technical aspects of writing and much more.

Random Thoughts to String Together by Lisa Gibson. The name expresses it all as writer Lisa pulls random writerly thoughts together as blog fodder.

Writer/lawyer Pete Morin’s blog. The man shares what is on his mind. Burst pipes, writing and the law, short stories, and more.

RS Mellette’s Dances with Blogs. A handy blog for filmmakers (and that includes screenwriters) who are wondering what recently submitted trends might be as well as more information on the Dances With Films Festival.
