I really do not watch t.v but I do a whole lot of research which includes watching a whole awful lot of documentaries. I love good music, Celtic of all kinds, Classic rock of course (I'm old ya know, but not dead), Classical and I am totally obsessed with Pentatonix and do most of book one's writing to their stuff. I Mean, the person who Kirstie will be in about 400 years is the main character of The Phinal Redemption, how could I not write to it.
World Building, Writing, Permaculture, Tai Chi Tao, cooking, Model Building in relation to my worlds, crafty type stuff.
