Sally's GF3 thread

I've gotten quite good at reading with the tv on.
if the show is good, I only read when the commercials are on.

I'm looking forward to hearing it! Hubby doesn't like piano music, so I'll wait until he's doing something else.

Use the Piano music to your advantage........ If you want hubby to leave the area

I have a hard time doing that. Maybe I can't process words visually while they're pelting my brain aurally?

And writing, forget it. While I was writing my book, I had to have quiet. I hear the words as I type them. Like I'm telling the story to myself.

Well, my main 'addiction' is reading, I read almost constantly, so maybe it's been an acquired 'skill'. I also have the tv on all day long to temper the ringing in my ears.
But, I can't read if there's music playing, tho was a necessity while I as working on CADD, concrete sculpture, wood working, etc.
Our brains are funny, and highly individual.

You wrote a book? Awesome!

What genre, topic, whatever is appropriate to ask here?

It's not published. It's a murder mystery/police procedural. I queried some agents, but nobody was interested.

Now it's probably unpublishable, as a major plot point is based on out dated computer technology.

Still very awesome.

For what it is worth, I prefer books with outdated computer technology if there is any computer technology.

 

[Sally PB]

Thank you.

For the half hour it took to do the phones, we went shopping next door at Goodwill. I found a CD of Rachmaninoff playing some of his piano works. It's remastered from whatever technology they had in his day, and I'm looking forward to hearing it! Hubby doesn't like piano music, so I'll wait until he's doing something else.

My mom got an album called, "Beethoven's Klavier," or something like that, when I was in high school. It was a couple of his sonatas played on a period piano (maybe Beethoven's?), and it sounded VERY different from a modern piano. She didn't care for it, but I thought it was cool.

The other thing I bought was a DVD of It's A Wonderful Life, which I have never seen. That's on my list of things I will do in the next week.

I finally watched "It's a Wonderful Life" a few years ago, enjoyed it tremendously.

What gets people to explode incredulously is when I state that I have never watched "A Christmas Story"... and I have no intention to ever.

I like "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "Scrooge" with Alistair Sim, and "The Homecoming" with Patricia Neal. Oh, and the original Grinch cartoon.

Why not? I don't mean to sound argumentative. Just wondering why.
