Summer Projects

Now that my spring semester is over, it’s time to get excited for summer! Here are some things I hope to work on in the coming months:

• Spiffing up my Youtube Channel
• Recording an original song for the Pittsburgh Songwriter’s Circle’s annual album (very excited for this to happen!)
• And actually performing at some open mic nights at the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern
• Leading a children’s program at the Shaler North Hills Library called Music Adventures (also very excited for this to happen!)

Finally, I’m taking a class on the history of children’s lit – my last class before I graduate! This isn’t a creative project per se, but … well … I had so much fun rewriting “The Snow Queen” that I hope I’ll come across some more children’s classics that I can adapt, hopefully not butcher, and maybe publish!

Wish me luck!

Frozen I.C.E. Award

To Death received the I.C.E. Award for quality Frozen fan fiction!  An unofficial award, of course, but still an honor!   It’s nice to have your work appreciated by other writers.  ^_^

Boo

I was supposed to play my set at a library event today, but I ended up going home sick instead. Boo.  I am kind of bummed about that.

There is talk about another library event coming up that features music, and this one (if it happens) will be open to the public.  So Pittsburgh readers check back–I’ll let you know what’s happening.

5000+ Views

Guys, my first novel-length story, To Death, passed 5000 views today!  I am so excited!

The next story of this caliber will be a real, publishable novel, so I’ll let you know how and when that develops. In the meantime, this is basically my firstborn child, and I’m so thrilled to see that people like it!

Let It Go/Defying Gravity Mashup

So this is exciting!  I’ve recorded vocals for an amazing arrangement of Let It Go and Defying Gravity, made by Xander Condie.  It’s the first song I’ve recorded since high school, so there are things I wish had come out better, but mostly I’m pleased with it. Check it out!
