What’s My Band Name

Tom said he’d help me get my hit single onto Spotify, but I have to pick out a band name. He suggested tying my “brand” together with “Jody and the BigDumpTrucks” but that sounds a little long to me. Also, I’m not exactly performing on the song – my son (aka Outlyer) is doing the vocals.  Ideas?

The Big W

I wrote a song. Created the music, too. My son did final production and the vocals, but everything else is me, baby!

I only wrote the song because “if you guys can do this, so can I!” Nice burst of creativity last week. I hope I didn’t peak.

Also, I submitted this under the band name “Just Ducky”. I had reasons, not good ones, but reasons.

The Big W

Songwriting challenge: write a song about a specific scene in a book or movie. You should be able to figure it out.

NaNoWrMo 2018

Why am I putting myself through this again? Don’t I have enough to do? I have a podcast to produce!

I’m already 4000 words behind and I’ve started killing off characters. I don’t think anyone will want to read about the guy who had an “unfortunate blender incident.” Unless maybe that’s more interesting than the rest of the novel will be.

Hello Co-Workers

No-filter Jody announced her domain name to her coworkers, new boss, boss’s boss and HIS new boss at a team lunch. Because why not make them all call into question whether or not hiring the person behind The Big DumpTruck was a good idea. (I vote good idea, if anyone is asking me.)

I also promised them I’ll start posting more often, because that is actually on my to do list. Now that my Twitter and FB participation has gone down to a tenth of what it was, I’m going to need an outlet for all the thoughts currently cramping up the alpaca barn that houses my brain.

We’ve all been there before though, haven’t we?
