The Musician

I know, I know.

STEFANIE. What the HELL. Where have you BEEN.

Answer? School. It sucks up all of my time. Literally. So now, when I am busiest, I seem to have the CRAZY idea that I have time to write. Well, I had 15 minutes last night, and came up with this. I don't know if it's good, but my friend Ally seemed to like it when I read it to her at 2 in the morning after what could best be described as a marathon homeworkathon.

Music has always been a great inspiration to me, and being a pianist of more than 13 years, I understand how music, especially that which you created yourself, can fill you and heal you in so many ways. Personally, I imagine the musician playing a piano, but as those wouldn't have existed in Middle Earth, it's really up to you, the reader, what she is playing. The main character, though also ambiguous except for his sex, I imagine as Legolas because - come on - this is me we're talking about.

In other news, I still have my December deadline for my first Metamorphosis. We shall see how that works out. (Siobhan has threatened to hunt me down and... make me finish it!)
