I'd really like to eventually commission a piece of music for this story I'm currently working on. My biggest problem is that I'm tone deaf and so I don't actually know what sounds "good," so to speak. So I'd love some recommendations from people, musicians I could listen to and see if I can figure out who could best bring out what I'm looking for.

What characters would you want to see? What themes would you want to see?

Been a while, but I'm still floating around now and then. Been thinking about ponystories a lot, and how I have one more in me that I'd REALLY like to write.
Life has been weird, though. I'm now on a horse farm in the horse state, rather than a graveyard-adjacent house in the cheese state. There has been joy and sorrow and, you know, life.

So right now I’m offering vignettes (roughly 1000-2000 words) as commissions, but instead of paying me you make a donation to charity. Any charity. If you need suggestions, then:

In other news, I'm going to be getting a charity thing up and running maybe next month, so that should be exciting. We'll see how it goes, though. The format will be a little different but hopefully it'll be a lot of fun for everyone.

So it hasn't been exactly the best year, really. While I've had a record amount of commissions, it's cut into personal writing time. There's also the whole "working with actual horses" thing, and the fact that, you know, that seems to be even more of a passion for me than writing is. Not that I'm planning to stop writing or anything.
Of course new adventures bring new pains, too. Early in the year, the first horse I'd ever trained died suddenly and unexpectedly. That sucked.

We have winter here in Wisconsin. Like it's snowing right now as I look out the window and there's already several inches on the ground. So I'm glad I did my costume riding a few days ago.

Antares and Innocence get to have their own whirlwind adventure through the Realm of the Giants.
Another story will follow this one. I have no idea how long it will be, or when I'll even be able to get started: I have some commissions and other projects that need to be done first.
I mean my two things are writing and horses, and I'm either doing stupid stuff with one or stupid stuff with the other. At least the writing is less likely to kill me. Probably. Hopefully.
