Today, I am participating in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Genre Favorites Blogfest. I would have forgotten about this one, but Alex reminded me to do it on Friday. I try to be organized, but I am nowhere near as organized as Alex is. He's definitely someone I look up to in our community.This festival is pretty easy. You list three of your favorite genres and then a guilty pleasure from one of the three categories.In books, I like Speculative Fiction.In movies, I like Speculative Fiction.

| Why do I like speculative fiction? Because it allows me to see thingslike this dragon. This is my original artwork done with acrylic paint onillustration board. Copyright Michael Offutt (but if you like it, go aheadand use it). I don't care. :) Click to embiggen. And yes, I still think I suckat art, but I keep trying just like with my writing. I call this painting"Wings by Night" as if that weren't obvious. |
Music, however, is a little harder to define. I like jazz (especially live), classical, songs used in musicals (which tend to be all over the place), rock, techno, soul, R&B, and pop. The only music that I can't get into is any rap that is not done by Eminem and then everything in the Country genre. I don't know why Eminem resonates with me. He just does, and I own all his albums.My guilty pleasure is pop music because I know it's looked down upon by adults. But when I'm in the car by myself, I totally can rock out to Lady Gaga and Katie Perry. But as I have gotten older, I listen to more jazz than anything. I can't stand radio with all it's commercials, and more often than not, my radio is tuned to NPR. The only music I can write to is classical. All others are too obtrusive.
If you haven't heard of Alex, please go by his blog located HERE. He's a great guy to get to know. And despite having almost 2000 followers, the dude gets around. I have no idea how he does it.
