Music and Love

Music has always been intertwined with the concept of romance. The art of music is a powerful tool used to set the mood for love, express emotions, and evoke feelings that can be difficult to put into words. From classical compositions to contemporary pop hits, music has captured the essence of love and used it to create timeless masterpieces.

Historically, music has been used to express love and romance. The earliest examples of this are in ancient Greece, where poets and musicians sang about love and passion. Romantic themes in music continued to develop throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with composers such as Bach and Mozart using music to express the joys and sorrows of love.

Music has also played a significant role in popular culture, especially in movies and television. Romantic ballads such as “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston (The Bodyguard - now I want to watch it again - just loved this movie - HBOMax here I come) and “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion (Titanic - I remember watching this in the theater with a friend. Long movie, but so romantic) have become iconic songs associated with love and romance. Music has been used to set the mood for romantic scenes in movies, creating unforgettable moments that leave audiences swooning.

In addition to expressing love and passion, music has been used to facilitate romantic relationships. Couples often have a particular song (R. picked this song for us, it's perfect) that reminds them of important moments in their relationship, such as their first dance or a special date. Music can also be used to set the mood for a romantic evening, creating an atmosphere that is conducive to intimacy.

At long last...

  I'll be honest, I never thought it would happen. I've written book one of a paranormal romance (there are supposed to be five books in the series), but when I started editing it I realized I didn't know how books two through five were going to go. So, I gave up and said to myself, "Self, I think we need to write our contemporary romance book. Let's see how that goes." So, lo and behold, Sometimes Love Isn't Enough was born. Holy cow, I just looked and I've been working on this book since March 2023! It's been a long process because of some things I've kept to myself, and not in my writing space. But I think it's time I come out and own who I am. Hello, my name is Tami and I have ADHD, depression, and anxiety. All the mental health issues I have, the neurodivergence, and my physical health issues make it hard for me to focus and I'm lucky if I get 100 words a day. But when I get those 100 words, it's a party. Sometimes my brain an...

Everything I Wanted to Know About Writing I Learned From My Cats

As an insomniac, I have tons of time to think about writing (when one should be writing) and what they have learned, and how. I honestly think that my cats have taught me most of what I need to know. 1. Steady and cunning get you what you want. If you don’t have a cat and have never seen them stalk a fly/ladybug/moth you’ve missed out on a lifetime of lessons. They will sit as still as can be and stalk that thing till it’s just in reach. And eight times out of ten, they get what they are going after. Just like writing! You have to be steady in your course and you will achieve your goals. You have to make sure that you keep the eye on the prize. If you don’t get it the first time keep on keeping on, it WILL happen. 2. Know who you can lean on. Cats are particularly finicky over who they will ‘sit’ with. My cat Earl can walk up to me, nudge the laptop from my lap, curl up, and fall asleep. He only stays there long enough for a cat nap, but he knows that he can do it and won’t be chasti...

Introduction to Contemporary Romance

   Contemporary romance literature spans an expansive landscape. Within it are various subgenres of romance literature, but contemporary romance stands out as being vivid and life-affirming for readers today and an eclectic tapestry woven with current experiences, cultural shifts, and relatable narratives. Unlike historical or fantasy romances, which take readers back in time or provide magical realms, it captures contemporary society dynamics while discussing issues relevant to 21st-century audiences while exploring relationships complex enough to involve themes like self-discovery, personal growth, or love in an ever-evolving world. Contemporary romance stands apart from its counterparts because of its modern setting and emphasis on realism. Characters in contemporary romance depict vulnerabilities and strengths reflective of real-life experiences, often encountering dilemmas that mirror real-world scenarios ranging from career pressures and personal aspirations to bala...
