Strangely, advice as good for writers or musicians as it is for magicians.

Feeling "Weightless"...
Still proud of this review; even more proud of the bit of great feed back it has gotten. I really can’t wait to wrap up my newest on Toh Kay (Tomas Kalnoky) and his debut “Streetlight Lullabies”. I’m really getting the hand of this amateur music journalism thing and enjoying my work, which in my opinion is the greatest payoff I could ask for.
Thanks for reading.

Taking pride:
If you like Thursday and are in the least bit saddened by the break up and want to share in their life and times, then check out this editorial I wrote about my feelings in the aftermath. I’d really appreciate the insight as this is one of my favorite things that I’ve written for my other blog so far.
Yeah can check it out over at Aurally Speaking.
Hope you all are well.

Writing and happenings...
I’m taking a few days off of my secondary tumblr to power through the last few days of NaNoWriMo. Hopefully I am able to come out of the end of this with any remainder of my sanity left.
In the meantime, check out my music-related blog over at Aurally Speaking. I’ve got 30 or so entries sitting about that are just waiting for your attention. Show it some much needed love.

Last one for the weekend:
I take great pride in myself when I accomplish something, even if it’s small. It takes a great deal of energy for me to motivate myself, so it came to even my shock that I finally got my music blog off the ground. Check it out, it’s my little baby:

I promise this is my last time promoting it for awhile. Thanks.

theredherb:
If you missed out on the many midnight releases last night, then take time today to visit your local gaming retailer in order to make your Wii console whole at last. If The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword isn’t enough to pry your fingers away from Skyrim, that goes to show you that you…
^Definitely can’t wait to lose sleep over this.
