Thanks for telling me about ReadWave.com, Nyasha. I just checked it out and it looks like a fun way and a great platform to write short stories. :)

Our brains--hardwired to enjoy stories?
One of the most useful books on writing that I've read in the past 10 years is Wired For Story by Lisa Cron. It merges art with science, deftly explaining how we are biologically wired to pinpoint those elements we as readers seek and hope to find while reading a story. To hear a summary o...

Striving couples in long distance relationships!
It looks as though I haven't written on my long distance relationships blog for a month, but actually the comments on the last post have kept me busy with this blog lately, as well as the writing I've been doing on a historical fiction novel I'm trying to finish one day. I have a proposal for al...
Hi Travis,
thanks for sharing your blog. It's always interesting to read and see how couples make it despite all odds. :)

Hi Brandon,
thanks for sending me a link to your awesome Kickstarter project. I just posted the link to my FB page, and I plan to post an article about your project here on Typepad later today. :)

Creative wedding proposal for long distance relationship couple
This inspiring and creative film clip of a man's wedding proposal to his long distance girlfriend (lucky girl!) was created by David Pogue (New York Times technology columnist, Missing Manual publisher, and Emmy-winning CBS news correspondent). 7 minutes and worth every minute of it.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. Helping to make the whole operation go smoothly instead of fighting against something as special as a precious relationship is the key to success. :)

That feeling of bittersweetness that accompanies long distance often carries me back to this haunting but lovely song. Fairport Convention was one of the most innovative and influential 1960s British bands and still record and tour today. The lead singer during their greatest period was Sandy De...

October is less than two months away so hopefully by then you'll know each other so well from your phone calls that your date will go smoothly :)

Thanks. I find her voice to be simply amazing. Maybe Joni Mitchell aspired to her sound? It was Sandy Denny's voice that Led Zeppelin recorded on their song Battle of Evermore (the *only* female singer they ever used for recording). Thanks for the heads up about Deanna Kirk. I'll check out her version.

I love this song, too. This might sound sappy, but I favorited David Archuleta's version of it on YouTube b/c I think his version is so heartfelt.

Green Apple Records
Long_road.mp3 When I was a kid (maybe 9 or 10 years old), my mother gave me an old record player that she had owned as a teenager along with a box full of old 45s. The records were still in very good shape and I must've played each one of them a million times! It is partly why I'm so famili...
