#StephenKing's On Writing is an absolute banger of a book.

"If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."

"Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life."

"[I]f you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway."

#StephenKing #OnWriting

"There is a muse, but he’s not going to come fluttering down into your writing room and scatter creative fairy-dust all over your typewriter or computer station. He lives in the ground. He’s a basement guy. You have to descend to his level"

Day #14: A song that you'd love to be played at your wedding.

I had a court wedding where there was not much of a chance of playing music, but I think when it comes to wedding songs, this is as good as any:

Al Green Let's Stay Together.

Day #13: A song you like from the 70s.

What? You're going to ask me 1 song from 70s or 60s.

Here is just a random "1970s Rock Songs" listing. I'm in the first page, and there are so many gems!

But ok, let's go with Layla, with Eric Clapton & Duane Allman

Day #12: A Song from your pre-teen years.

The only music I listened to in my pre-teen years was 1950s and 60s Hindi movie songs. 1980s was never a favorite decade for music, but there were exceptions, of course. And to listen to Ilaiyaraaja's fabulous Ae Zindagi Gale Laga Le was an experience I've not forgotten. Later when we made a tape mix of "new" songs (I'm old), we started with this one, me and my sister.

With what seems like an endless stream of new seasons of shows coming in every week, there are still times when I want to just rewatch an old movie or an episode, not at all caring for all the "binge-worthy" content waiting in the pipeline.

Day #11: A Song You'll Never Get Tired of.

#30DaysSongChallenge

I generally don't get tired of songs. I have been just adding songs to my favorites rarely timing them out. If I have to choose one, though, I'd choose #JohnColtrane's "A Love Supreme". One of the greatest piece of music ever written. #jazz

Day #9: Song that makes you happy.

That Louis Armstrong, who had the most terrible life growing up, would come up with this makes it special. What a wonderful man!

What a Wonderful World.
