Hello everyone! I'm sorry for my absence! Life has never been more full, I don't think.

My writing has been nonexistent, with the exception of composing music and writing a couple of scripts, but none of that is the type of stuff I post on here.

I've played piano for three musicals since October, which was entertaining and profitable (The Fantasticks, Assassins, and Babes in Toyland) and I am now working on getting my repertoire for my senior recital and graduate school auditions to the highest level I can. This includes Bach's 2nd Partita in C minor, BWV 826 (six movements), Beethoven's Sonata in F minor, Op.57, "Appassionata" (3 movements), Schumann's Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood), Op.15 (13 short pieces), Liszt's Vallée d'Obermann from the Years of Pilgrimage, Scriabin's Etude in C sharp minor, Op.42, No.5 and Prokofiev's Sarcasms, Op.17 (five pieces)

I've been teaching and playing regularly, which has taken up quite a bit of time, and my only other time has been spent either reading or writing, for the most part. I apologize to my watchers for my sudden cessation in output, but I hope it is understandable.
