Well I got a second short story done, very much a rough, but done nonetheless. Inspired by a Flash Fiction prompt that fit into my 'world'. "Time For Nothing" - a story about nothing. But about everything. All depends on your point of view. :-) www.rabidhorse.com/artblog/ Ingrid KV Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357668181484669053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-27310906810531911532013-01-29T06:19:45.040-08:002013-01-29T06:19:45.040-08:00Excellent!

Best technical decision I ever made. <br /><br />You'll have fun with bouzouki. Technically, mine is an octave mandolin because all of the doubled strings are unison. An Irish Bouzouki would have a longer scale neck with some of the string being an octave above, like a 12-string guitar. Looking back, I wish I bought that type of instrument, but at the time I was interested in playing Irish fiddle tunes on it, and the shorter scale neck made that easier.

So, it seemed natural to try and make a composition using only the Roland (a switch for me, as I've always been soft synths and real instruments). It wasn't a limitation, but it was a lot of fun!<br /><br />Also, Scavenger is a great track...moody and atmospheric, excellent. The bouzouki sounds great (and has long been on my list of instruments I wish to acquire!)www.centralbatterymusicworks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395642861205140119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-42936624305538992832013-01-27T13:20:54.155-08:002013-01-27T13:20:54.155-08:00I'm working on my Library of Alexandria inspir...I'm working on my Library of Alexandria inspired novel - in the outlining and character profiling phase.

And maybe I should say the manuscript I finished was under a contract. I mean, there's a chance the publisher could tell me they really didn't want a fantasy more akin to a bad acid trip than anything else, but I like to think they knew what they were in for when they signed for a book on spec. I'm nothing if not weird. andyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050163251495144567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-2858655769116430372013-01-23T04:26:40.197-08:002013-01-23T04:26:40.197-08:00Congrats on selling the short story!
