I got the coolest note from a friend today that just absolutely made my day. It went like this:
Grum's Company had a little IG gather just this weekend and we generally posed questions to one another. When asked, "If you could spend time, or had to, with someone in Shadowfane that wasn't a member of Grum's Company, who would it be?"
The answer was largely "Zephyr" or "Oh, Zephyr, that's a good one. I change my answer. He's cool."
Just thought you might like to know. ^_^
That was so cool of her to share with me. I needed that kind of pick-me-up.
Ok, for most of you doing it, that's National Novel Writing Month. I'm reading it as National Note Writing Month.
Zephyr's patron (in Madrigal) has commissioned him to write a piece of music. I figure if I don't get going on it, it will never get done. I can be a horrible procrastinator on stuff like that.
(Ask wargoddess, who is patiently waiting for me to set a piece of music in writing for her. Sorry, I digress.)
I had to find the right lyrics first. I know it's cheating not to write the words myself, but I'm not really much of a lyricist. Now I'm writing music to fit it. I'm up to 140 notes on the soprano part.
At 242 words in the piece, assuming at least one note per word with 3 vocal parts plus 2 flutes and string bass, my lowball estimate is 1500 notes, so I'm about 9% of the way there.
