Things I Remember

Standard

Jen’s Ear

I have an amazing memory. I’m an auditory learner and once I hear something, I pretty much will remember it. Sometimes this is great and other times, not so much. I tend to dwell on the stuff I hear that makes me unhappy and I have to learn to let it go.

What I do forget is anger. I have a short temper and can sometimes get mad easy but I also forget those things fast, too. I am not a grudge holder. That’s not to say that I won’t be more leery of someone that has hurt me or done something I don’t like, but I won’t hold a grudge about it.

How Music Affects My Productivity

Standard

iPod+iBook

I love to work to tunes on the radio, Ipod, or computer. I even make a soundtrack for each book I write with songs that go with the story line. It’s part of my creative process. I love music. I used to dance and sometimes I choreograph in my head as I work. I usually have some kind of music playing at the office as well. I find that the workday passes faster and I can get a lot done in time with the music.

Things People Are Surprised to Learn About Me

Standard

People are always stunned when I tell them that I’ve been skydiving. It was an awesome experience and I loved it. I think people are surprised by it since I’m pretty conservative and jumping out of a plane would seem to be kind of out of character for me.

Something I Wish I Hadn’t Thrown Away

Standard

Ford Granada Mk3

I didn’t throw it away, I sold it. My father tried to warn me not to do it, but I was stubborn and did it anyway. He said I’d regret it. I do, to some extent, regret it until I think about how much money I would’ve spent on it over the last 26 years or so. Then I think about what I have now, and I’m content, but I do sometimes miss that old girl. She was unique and very, very cute.

What am I talking about? My three on the column 1975 Ford Granada that was painted a pale, almost silver, rose color. I was stylin’ in that baby!
