Gomen nasai.

Hello!

I just wanted to announce that the third week's piece of music will be published on the 1st of May most likely. There is a reason behind that, which has nothing to do with me whatsoever, but I am too paranoid to mention it on here... So, please wait and see / hear what I have to offer then. I will most likely record it on Saturday or so, though!

Have a lovely rest of the month, as I most likely will not be writing here for the rest of the month (Until the the 1st of May)...

Much love from here!! :)

Week 4's Challenge (Delightful Aberrations)

Hey there, dear readers!

I have finally something to enter concerning the Delightful Aberrations challenge my friend Lilia has started: I have taken some photographs concerning the words that should spark ideas in general... I must admit, I am trying not to be super-critical, &... I actually like them :P. The words for this week's challenge are / were: Exploration, joke, sugar, relaxation, and joy. Now, what did I take photos of...?

Notes / thoughts / meaning behind the image: Used the "relaxation" and "joy" prompt. :)

Other information: "Oricchi" is the nickname of our cat, Orion. He's been with us since he was a little baby, being bottle-raised, and developed this urge to suckle on fingers to calm down / relax...

Other information: These little boys are Bart (mostly black cat) & his brother Yoshi (mostly white, with the spots in his fur), two of our cats. The sweets are called "Veggie Mäuse", I think ("Veggie Mice"). :D

I hope I have done everything correct now :). Anyway, these are my submissions. I hope you like them!

Much love!

Up for some challenges?

[Is this an April Fool's joke :P...? NO IT'S NOT!!]

Hello my dears!

How are you all? I hope everything is okay. Once again, I participated in the "100 Bilder - 100 Geschichten" competition. I am kind of nervous once again, but I don't want to think about it too much as it is just a writing challenge. :) And I really am in the mood of "I want to participate in more challenges now!".

I know that NaNoWriMo will not be any sooner than November. I know that the February Album Writing Month is over for now, too. But I did find some inspirations on challenges, and I will most likely make something out of this. Meaning: There will HOPEFULLY be more posts in the future.

One mistake I don't want to make all over again, however, is to "take breaks" because these "breaks" usually lead to a prolongued time when I feel like, "Meh, I don't want to create anything!", so I will... Make sure I get a decent amount of rest and pauses, but I will try to keep being on track. :) You will learn about the challenges altogether soon-ish. Ah yes, and concerning my participation in the "100 Bilder - 100 Geschichten" competition; I cannot show you the thing I wrote before the beginning of May, so please be patient.

Other than that, I read the following article yesterday and it really inspired me (I even dreamed of recording a demo CD and trying to find out whom to send it to afterwards when I was asleep.): J. K. Rowling inspiring us to keep going, despite being turned down by publishers.

To be honest, I think this can apply to so many publishers of creative content - not just in the written form. And it even counts for ANY dream job one may have, because even then you often depend on the decision of somebody else... Sometimes it is the decision to let you study the field you have chosen, sometimes it is the decision of a future employer, and so on. I think the entire article just screams "DON'T GIVE UP!" from the top of its lungs (if it HAD lungs!)... So, yeah, don't give up. I won't either. :)
