Singing a Song of My Own

because when I logged in today I found I had forgotten how to add an entry.  >_>

But here I am!  I haven’t been particularly busy of late, just forgetful of my poor blog.

Let’s see…  What can I chatter about?

Well, I’m having my next metting for my piano teaching classes next week.  Hopefully I’ll start teaching really really soon.  I already have a few people who have said they want their kids in the lessons!

It has been REALLY snow here this winter!!  It snowed a bunch couple weeks ago, and before that had completely melted, it snowed again just last week!  Not that I am averse to the snow.  I like it.  I figure that if it is going to be cold, it may as well snow and be pretty.

I recently went through my story ideas file and organized it.  (yeah, I know, amazing.  please don’t have a heart attack while reading my blog, that would not be cool.)  I put all the modern/future time ideas on one page and all the medieval time ideas on another page, then did a brief description of the plot, then I numbered them so I knew how many of each I had, and then I marked which ones I had pieces already written of and what chapter I was one for the ones I had started writing.  Ended up with sixty story ideas.

After that, I went back through and, in a different file, typed out the names of all the characters just for the fun of it.  Ended up with about one hundred fifty characters, maybe more….  And that’s just the stories I’m writing myself.  It doesn’t count the… one… two… three… four stories I’m writing with other people.  And then of course there are the characters who don’t have stories yet and just ramble around the house without a care in the world being envied by the characters that actually have stories.  At least not all one hundred fifty some characters are extremely developed and talkative, else I’d go crazy…. or crazier.

Well, that’s all I can think to ramble about for the time being.  Thanks for stopping by and reading!!  ^_^

I added music, in case you couldn’t tell.   This is cause for much joy for me….  They’re arranged more or less in alphabetical order.  I KNOW!  ZOEgirl and Rebecca St. James are at the top.  I added them first, but didn’t feel like scrolling all the way down the page to put them where they would belong to be in order, so I just left them.  After those artists though, I THINK the rest are in order.  So yeah… Go check out my music and let me know what you think!

Heh. Why don’t I write here more?? Good question. And this question has a simple answer.
I’M BUSY!!! ARG!!
Sorry. -chuckle- I’m just getting tired of being busy. -_- But also… I like being busy, too… so I’m not gonna complain. Instead, I’ll give you update, yes?
First and foremost, I started Karate lessons at last. W00T!! Currently I’m a white belt with a yellow tip. Once I get two yellow tips I’ll be ready to take the test for yellow belt. At my dojo the belts are: White, yellow, blue, green, brown, black. Actually… I’m not sure if they have a brown belt, but oh well. -shrug-
I’m also doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), also known as suicide for authors. Whoever thought up the idea of writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days should both get a big huzzah for brilliance, and also be shoved off a tall cliff. >_> Okay, not really. I enjoy NaNo, despite my complainings. Wait… didn’t I say I wasn’t going to complain? Okay, moving on.
Voice lessons are still going grandly. Getting ready for my Christmas recital, where I will be singing Fly Away, by FFH, and Sunrise, by Nichole Nordeman. Perhaps some other stuff.
Aaaaaand…. that’s it for my schedule. ‘Cept for work of course. Working half days again. OH! AND I’m taking classes on how to teach piano, so hopefully I can quit working away from home completely. I hate being away from home, even just for half the day. =P
So I’ve been keeping busy! Mostly with writing at least two thousand words every day. x_x

Saturday I went to my first LARP (live action role play) ever. I went as one of my characters. Thea, or Jaella. She’s a gypsy. It was a TON of fun, especially once one of my friends got the brilliant idea of starting a thieves guild with me, her, and another friend. We stole a bag of marshmallows, and between two of us, ate them. Then we stole the stuff out of a secret stash that we found, and then some shields from the armory shop. Yes, we were quite busy. In the secret stash, we left a note reading, “You’ve been robbed by the illustrious Magpie Band. Tee hee.”. -grin-

We hid the stuff up in fir trees, then sat and waited for people to notice. No one noticed, and we got bored, so we penned a second note and split up, my friend to deliver the note to someone to give to the person in charge, and me to go and wait for her at our base. (yes, we had a base and everything. -grin- We rock.) Just as we split up, we hear something to the effect of, “Hey! Someone tell (-persons name-) that the Magpie Band stole his stuff!”
Needless to say, my friend hightailed it back to me and we both hightailed it for our secret hideout. XD We made it there, then our other band member got there, then I (gr.) had to go back for my brother, who I had had to bring along to keep an eye on, and who had decided to turn around and walk back to the house. >_< I was irritated.
But anyways, I found him, and headed back to the base, but found that it was swarming with soldiers. So I couldn’t very well go back there. So I wandered around the woods, hiding and sneaking and trying to find where my friends were.
The LARP ended before it could be resolved, but it was still fully awesome. B) … Except for the fact I found skirts and scarves are NOT conducive to running about in the woods. OR dragging a younger brother around. XP But oh well. I still had a blast. And I still have yet to finish picking all the burrs and stickies out of my scarves and skirts. I’m TOTALLY wear pants next time.

Well, farewell until next time!

Oh dear… Been so long… -pats blog-

Well… Lemme think what’s happened since the last post…

Full-time job at the sewing place. I really hate working all day, so I’m looking into teaching piano at home so I only work part-time at the sewing place.

Writing is still going just as crazily as ever. Ravenhollow; Get Ready has been finished, edited and all, and sent into a contest. I’m working on two other stories officially, those two are “Far From Present” and “Ravenhollow; Get Set”. Then I’m doing “Wading Through” (or something like that, I’m still trying to figure out a permanent title) for National Novel Writing Month. Maybe, if I have time, I’ll do two stories for NaNoWriMo, and end up doing “RainQueen” too. After those, I’m doing four co-written novels: “Shadowed”, “CharrieMix” (no, that’s not the permanent title), “Hunter’s Moon”, and “Dragonvale”. And THEN, I’m kinda half working on about five other stories… Hehehe…

Voice lessons are still in session, and I’m still lovin’ ‘em. ;D I’ve have a recital coming up in December, which I’ll be singing “Fly Away” (ocapela), then “Sunrise”, and a Christmas song or two. And maybe an Italian piece called “Ho Sparse Tante Lagrime”. Fun. B)

Well, there ya go! Update! Haha! Hopefully I’ll have more regular updates…
