And for my fantasy writing I often listen to Evanesence. Here are a couple of videos that give you a sense of the darkness of my first book, which my agent has sitting with editors at the moment. (And for the record, I’ve only just seen these videos for the first time today and realized how well they seem to capture parts of the story. It was the anguish in the music that really helped me to bring out the dark elements in the novel.)
Call Me When You’re Sober
Good Enough
I wish there was a video for Lacrymosa which I think is the best track on the album.
As a side note, if you are interested in reading the first chapter, I’ve posted it here. It’s dark fantasy and if you’re a devout Muslim/Christian/Jew you will likely be offended.

Examples include the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, Pantene (thanks to Janet Reid for this one!) and RBC’s Blue Water Project. I’d like to see more of these in the future.
Here are some of the Dove commercials:
Here is the RBC Blue Water Project:

Originally published at Random Musings. You can comment here or there. As part of the week leading up to the “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” event on October 1st, I decided to repost some previous entries on violence against women. Ending violence against women starts with educating men and boys on gender equality and teaching them to respect the women and girls in our lives. The White Ribbon Campaign does very important work around this so if you know anyone that is walking in this event (and yes, it will be in heels!), then you should definitely sponsor them.

 It Starts With You
The White Ribbbon Campaign is launching a new campaign called It Starts With You, It Stays With Him. As per the WRC’s mandate of “Men working to end men’s violence against women”, this campaign is aimed at men in various roles (Fathers, Family Members, Educators, Coaches/Leaders) and their involvement with the boys in their lives. It has resources for how they can better role model and help them to build healthy equal relationships. Go check it out!
