I turned 23 years old today, and WizardWalk.com turned 5 years old.\u00a0 Yay.\u00a0 Woohoo.\u00a0 So begins my 24th year of life!<\/p>\n

\"\"In my 23rd year of life, I didn’t get much music written.\u00a0 Last year I somehow managed to write over ten pieces, but this year I think I only finished four more, Opuses 42 through 45.\u00a0 I haven’t uploaded all of them to my MP3s page yet, but I think they’re all on YouTube.\u00a0 Only four, that’s pretty dismal.\u00a0 Oh, I also did a Christmas tune orchestration, I orchestrated the Cornish Wassail tune.\u00a0 I’ll be releasing that soon; it’ll be part of a free Christmas album released by Garritan this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Besides writing music, I did get graduate from college.\u00a0 I suppose that’s the big thing.\u00a0 No more school.<\/p>\n

Oh, I also began my “melody project” … I haven’t been working on that at all this month, but I’ll definitely get back to it, there are a lot of things I’d love to experiment with it.<\/p>\n

I’ve been having a bit of an Internet hiatus really this month, since I’m trying to do NaNoWriMo<\/a>; that is, I’ve been trying to write 50,000 words of a novel in a month.\u00a0 I’ve got five days left, and to be honest it really doesn’t look like I’ll win, I’m currently behind at about 33K words.\u00a0 It would still be possible to catch up though, so who knows.\u00a0 I will say that so far I’ve had the best progress I’ve ever had trying to write a novel.\u00a0 Most importantly, perhaps, is that I actually planned out the entire plot so I know exactly where everything is going, and I’ve been sticking to it, not adding things that screw everything up like I did with The Game of Gynwig<\/em>.\u00a0 Anyweigh, my novel this month is called The Book of Harbringer<\/em>.\u00a0 I’ve made a little website about it here<\/a>, which also contains the first few chapters.<\/p>\n

I guess that’s pretty much it!\u00a0 I think the rest of the week will be mostly dedicated to celebrating Thanksgiving.\u00a0 We’ve got some relatives coming down so my family can’t cheat and go out to eat like we usually do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
