What Not To Do

So it turns out what happens when you perform “Let It Go” 12 times in a row is that your vocal chords swell up and you lose your voice and have to communicate by writing on a note pad (luckily that only lasted like a day and a half) and also you can’t sing for three weeks.

I still have at least a week to go.

The throat specialist said that my speaking voice is fine.  My singing voice will come back in full with no permanent damage.  I just have to be patient, hydrate, and warm it up slowly once it’s back.

I’m lucky that it was nothing worse than swelling, but still it’s been a rough few weeks. I miss singing, you guys. I don’t really know what to do without it. 😦

Frozen Sing Along Pics

Pittsburgh news station WPXI came to the Shaler Library’s Frozen party and took pictures of the sing along!  How cool!  Visit their website to see pictures of the rest of the party!

PS – That’s me on the keyboard. ^_^

PPS – I did not cause a riot.

Finished To Death!

I posted the last chapter of my lovely Frozen/Snow Queen crossover To Death!  There are a few minor details I may go back and edit, but it’s essentially done.  Read it from the beginning!

I’m sad that it’s over but proud that it exists! And nervous because I’ve never finished a novel-length story before.  I want everything to be flawless every time, but I’m trying to accept that my first ending isn’t going to be perfect. Nothing is perfect the first time you do it. I should be happy that I got such wonderful feedback on the rest of the story … but I’m going to mull over it anxiously anyway because that’s how I do. 😉

 

Frozen Sing Along

Looks like I’m playing a sold out show on Saturday! :p Wish me luck!

Daydreams and Chocolate

I changed the site name today!  It used to be “Daydreams with a side of chocolate,” but honestly I kept looking at the domain name and all I saw was “daydreams-something-something-this-is-a-long-name-and-at-the-end-there-is-chocolate.” So I shortened it. I think this will be easier to remember.  And I want to make little cards/flyers to pass out when I start performing more, so this name is more likely to fit on them.

I posted a link to this site from the original one, so hopefully people can still find me!
