| Just discovered THE HU band from Mongolia! This is what I love about music. The blending of culture into something totally original while using a recognizable media like rock music, which seems to be universal. Take a look at this clip if you have the time! https://youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hu |
| I would not normally follow a link to "rock" music. Something you wrote intrigued me. So I checked out the song listed about the Ancestors. There were subtitles so I could read the lyrics. I found the instruments fascinating. The sound is similar to it's original but not so far off to be annoying. I liked the words about So strange. So Strange. Their singing tones were low and guttural but still pleasant to hear. I don't think I'd buy the album. Thank you for sharing this. On a side note, years ago I was in Palm Springs, CA and heard a street performer dressed in what I'd term now as Steampunk. He played an electric cello. His instrument was featured on a high end car commercial not long after I saw him. I can't remember his name. I did by a CD(in a box somewhere now) that I enjoyed listening to. |

I've totally forgotten how to use WritingML!   I also noticed that may emails were at 1,276% over limit. |

That's hilarious, but congratulations on having so many folks reviewing for you!  That speaks well of your novel, otherwise they'd all be making up excuses not to after the 1st chapter.  Once it's done, if you are interested, let me know and I'll give it a read for consideration for nominating it for a Quill. No promises that I'll nominate it, but if I like it, I will.  That category is always lacking, so I know they'd appreciate any worthwhile entries.  |
Oh, no. I wasn't offering to REVIEW! I barely do that. But I do sometimes read for Quills nominations.  If you have a novel or novella that you plan on finishing this year, let me know and I'll see if I want to nominate it for a Quill (without actually reviewing it--I'm lazy lol). |
Just got an email from Shortform!  "Thank you for your interest in joining Shortform. Your experience and interests look like a good match, and I'm excited to move forward with the application process." So now I've read the entire introductory packet. I'm tasked to write summaries of three articles as a display of my writing skill and critical thinking abilities. The summaries will become anonymous and graded against all other applicants. The job pays $20-$25/hr, is totally remote, and they encourage 36+ hours a week. So, here's to dumping this call center job in the ditch on the side of the road! Wow, it makes me feel pretty good that I got in the door on my very first attempt. I may not get this job, but that's a good sign for the future! |
| I just applied to my first freelance writing position. We'll see what happens. Got to get out of that call center! It drains the very spirit of my artistry, minute-by-minute. Wish me luck!  https://www.shortform.com/ |
