A few weeks ago, I was going to publish a very depressive, angry post about book piracy, seeing as I know for a fact that some people (the minority, I hope) land on my blog because they're trying to find my books for free when, most of the time, I barely make enough money from the books to order a few pizzas each month.
However, after one of these episodes I always come back to the same conclusion: I can't change people. All I can do is focus on what I love. Maybe one day I'll stop publishing my writing for public consumption, but I will never stop writing. Because I love creating other worlds and spending time in different characters' minds.
So ... other than my mini piracy-related meltdown, I've been in the middle of moving, so I haven't had the time to focus on writing (or even editing my latest book). What I have been doing is binge-watching Arrow, which I hadn't seen since the first episode in 2012. One of the episodes I watched recently reminded me how powerful music is.
Oh, and I've also become the biggest Olicity fan. ;-) On that note, watching the first episode of a show, skipping nearly three seasons, and then going back and watching from the beginning is beyond weird. It's like looking into the future, and then going back and watching the person you've fallen in love with date everyone else! I have a feeling the last two episodes of Season 3 are going to be painful, and the wait until Season 4 is going to be excruciating.
Back to my original point! Here's the instrumental music from Season 2 (Episode 6) that just gives me the shivers. It's available on iTunes (Own Worst Enemy), and I have a feeling I'm going to have it on repeat for a while. (I've started it at 1:45, because that was the part where I knew I needed to get the music.)

I'll post again when I have some news about the latest books I'm working on. The rough chapter of one of my in-progress books (college-age, but not as ... ahem ... adult as College Girl) is still posted under Extras. My other in-progress is the closest to being done, but that puppy is going under a pen name because it's so over-the-top crazy.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for more random rambling.
