April 23rd: Earworm
What song is stuck in your head (or on permanent rotation in your CD or MP3 player) these days? Why does it speak to you?
At the moment it’s Michael Jackson’s ‘Remember the Time’. I am currently writing a beautiful love story (requested by a friend) and I was looking for lighthearted music to listen to. I remembered this song from my childhood and I’ve had it on heavy rotation while writing the scene where the two characters realize that they’re falling for each other.

April 22nd: Critical eye
Write about the subject you usually blog about as if you were a music critic.
Like fine wine, Tom Cruise is getting better with age. Sure, some moviegoers complain about him doing the same thing in different movies over and over again, but he is an action star first and foremost (a reason why he performs his own stunts and a reason why he looks for ways to improve them). If you’re one of those who whinesย about him doing stunts, then I recommend these for your viewing pleasure:
^ Born on the Fourth of July – Robbed of an Oscar for his excellent performance.
^ A Few Good Men – All he wants is the truth.
^ The Firm – If you like John Grisham, you’ll certainly enjoy this screen adaptation.
^ Interview with the Vampire – He became Lestat.ย
^ Jerry Maguire – Just show him the money!
^ Collateral – Here is a villain who knows his way around town.
^ Oblivion – A Vanilla Sky update.
^ Edge of Tomorrow – Live. Die. Repeat.
Maybe he did some stunts in a few of the mentionable, but if no one liked it, then he wouldn’t have had great fans.
