Maggie Strikes Again - Check it out

Maggie Stiefvater has done it again.

Not only writing another book to come out in July, continuing the story she started in her successful 'Shiver' book, but she of course being Maggie and all, had to create, make, film, as well as create all the music for, And play most of the instruments for, her new trailer for the book! I know. Sheesh.

Now it's easy to understand why people are missing some talents, sure looks like Maggie, and possibly even her family, got most of them all!

If you haven't read 'Shiver' yet then do read it. You have time before the next books comes out. If you hurry.

Well if you hurry and buy it and start reading. Once you start reading I think the writing and story will take you over so you won't have any problem finishing it in time before the next one.

Yes, it's that good. And yes that well written.

You won't be sorry.

And while you are checking out this trailer for Maggie's latest soon-to-be-out book, be sure to also check out the trailer she did for 'Shiver' since it also shows Maggie's talent with scissors and musical instruments and imagination. Yeah, another Sheesh. But you definitely should check them out.

Here, if I done this right, hopefully this will make it easier. If not go over to her Facebook Fan Page, or one of her blogs and check them out. You won't be sorry, there's Lots of great information that Maggie shares.

She shares a Lot of great information on her blogs, she has one on LiveJournal and she has one on BlogSpot. You can get to hers by clicking on the Friends section of my blogs since I have her linked there.

Maybe this is why the music and lyrics keep popping up in my head? No, surely can't be, because they aren't the same as these. At all.

But the prolific and super-multi-talented Maggie Stiefvater has done it again. Writing, music - writing, composing And playing of course - and various art forms. And she just keeps on displaying them - check this one out for her book out in October called 'Ballad'

And no this is Different than the music and art and film she did for her phenomenal book out Now called 'Shiver.' So you Should check that out too.
But here's the one for 'Ballad.' Enjoy.

and if that doesn't work the way it's supposed to - try this. cause it would be a shame for you to miss Maggie's really great creativeness, just because I'm trying to focus on all things writing instead of all things blogging and how to really do it.

Does Anyone Else

Have music and lyrics popping up in your head? As a writer I mean, not a musician. And not like songs you’ve heard on the radio or anything.

I’m not a musician. Don’t even play the ‘radio’ all that much, so I don’t really listen to music much. I have been thinking maybe I should change that since Maggie Stiefvater uses music to help her write. And seeing her success maybe there’s something to be said for that right? I was wondering if maybe it would help my writing. If nothing else maybe help my characters stop running amok and doing their own thing. Sort of a musical chairs writing game or something. Maybe. Okay, so yeah, I’m getting a bit desperate to get these characters on their own and out of the house already so I can make room for all the others that have intentions on moving in. There’s only so much space in one’s brain to hold characters after all, and some are getting downright snitty at having to wait.

So thinking about writing to music isn’t exactly a new thing I’ve thought of, I’ve just not spent the time finding music I didn’t get annoyed with after awhile. Sometimes a really short while.

And it isn’t the first time I’ve had a tune and lyrics show up in my head and demand to be written down.

But it is rather annoying being treated by songs the same way as by characters.

I mean, why me? I could sort of understand the lyrics part since I have always jotted down poems and such, but the music part? I’ve not exactly ever been all that musical. So I’m not sure why they are showing up in my head more and more. Is it leakage from someone else’s brain? Like music/song waves in the atmosphere or something, and I just happen to be picking them up?

Darn if I know.

But hey. I can hear the music in my head, although that’s not going to help you very much, even if you do want it. But if you happen to be missing lyrics I might be able to help you. Call me.
