Holiday Stress - Here's Help
With these soothing sounds, you can close your eyes and listen to the oddly satisfying sounds of hair brushing and hair play to help you unwind and relax so you can get a good night of sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready to go.
If you don't know what ASMR is, let me explain:
It's an autonomous sensory meridian response ("ASMR"). This is a sensory response that causes tingles to run down your back, neck and upper spine. It can be created by different stimuli, such as a smell, sight or sound (known as "triggers"). These triggers are specific to individuals. One person can get tingles from the aroma of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven, another person can be stimulated by the sight of ocean waves and some people get the tingles from sounds of . . . hair brushing. This ASMR can cause a relaxing sensation that helps you calm down and has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia. If you're interested in reading more, check out this link. And if you want to try some of the sounds, check out my video here.

Ghost Story
DON'T HESITATE - TAKE ACTION . . . verbs in your story
Action
Verbs
Action Verbs are “in-the-moment”
words that move a story forward. As writers, we want our reader’s eyes to keep
scanning the page, not to stop on a term, word or lack luster phrase.
Mark Twain was once quoted for saying: “When in
doubt, strike it out.”
An Action Verb
describes the action taking place in the story by using immediate words such as run,
walk, do, smile, drive, jump.
Here’s an example of a passive word choice opposed to an action verb.
Before: She was running…
Action: She ran …
Before: She was talking about …
Action: She told…
Before: The group was beginning to come toward the table…
Action: The group sat at the table …
Here
are some examples of Passive words versus Powerful terms:
