5 on Friday -- Set 189

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

It's all about words this week at A Piece of My Mind.

On Sunday, if you're in the Halifax area, I hope to see you along the waterfront near the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic for The Word on the Street book festival.

I'll be signing paperback copies of Saint Sanguinus and Bound by Dragonsfyre from 11:00 - 5:00.

My writers' group Romance Writers of Atlantic Canada will also be at their own booth -- drop by to meet a dynamic group of writers who will be giving away books and lots of swag.

A shout-out also to the Toronto Romance Writers who will have their own booth at Word on the Street Toronto.

5 on Friday - Set 162

When I was looking through the arts section of the paper yesterday after I finished eating supper, which is my chill out time between the day job and my evening writing shift, I noticed several event listings that featured World Storytelling Day.

What a great thing to showcase for 5 on Friday, I thought. So here are five story songs as we head into World Storytelling Day, March 20th.

1 - Rocky Raccoon - The Beatles 

2 - Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen

3 - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot 

4 -Darlington County - Bruce Springsteen

5 - Taxi - Harry Chapin

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend--I'll be at my second Women Making Waves conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Storytelling through film, television and digital media, by women. It's not a women-only conference, however--it's a film industry event attended by both genders. In fact, my fellow conference-goer this year is my husband Brad.

I'll share the highlights in next week's Thursday Thirteen.
