It has been an interesting few months. I've had workshop classes in fiction and screenwriting, not to mention composition lessons and a music research group exploring Pure Data.
Some works I''ve written this semester are "Yuugen," a short story; "Means to an End," the first act of a screenplay; and "Refracting Avalon," a one-act opera for Lyric Baritone and Piano, for which I wrote the libretto (a collage of excerpts from Goethe's Faust that I translated into English) and music.
Of particular interest is a blog that I've been wanting to get off the ground, but until now I haven't found the right time to do so. Seeing as I have fewer obligations for the next month. The next week or so seems like a good time. Once the first post is up, I'll post a link here. Look forward to it!
P.S.
Be careful with your ceramic burr coffee grinders. The ceramic pieces are so very fragile.

Good news. In the time since I posted the last journal, I was able to purchase the plane ticket for my study abroad trip. On that note, I've mentioned in passing a couple of times a blog I've been looking to start (I mean, writers have blogs, right?). In light of my plans in Japan, I've decided to use it as an opportunity to open the blog with a series of articles I'll write during my first trip to Japan. The article subjects might vary from discussion on a word, grammatical construct, of other aspects of Japanese; various places I will possibly visit during my stay; etc.
In other news, I am making good progress on the draft of my first nove
GoFundMe! Study Abroad Japan
Hey, everyone! This is rather unexpected, but I am in need of funds to buy a plane ticket to go to Japan for my semester abroad. The program is KCP International, a language school where I'll study Japanese in a full-immersion environment. http://www.kcpinternational.com/about/
If you can help out in any way, I would be very grateful. The goal is $1,000 (USD). Thank you!

This is turning out to be quite the summer. In case any of you are the tl;dr type, there will be a snippet for you at the end.
First, a point of business. In the last journal entry I mentioned changing some of my works to premium content. Some of the works I chose are already in the gallery. Others have yet to be posted. I will make the change within the month; this isn't a pressing issue at the moment. Here is the list:
1. Parallel
2. Words Left Unspoken, or The Sunset-Emblazoned Sky
3. Resplendent Dawn - contest version (yet to be posted)
4. Colors*
*Colors is a set of poems I am writing as the libretto for a dramatic

Here's some stuff (concerning the post mentioning changes to come):
1. I will, for an undetermined amount of time, cancel my premium membership.
2. I am in the process of setting up a WordPress blog that will deal with critiquing and discussing music, books, anime, etc. (I'll post a link to the first entry once I publish it.)
3. Some of my content will be pay to view. This will only apply to a small amount of my deviations. The reason I'm doing this is to offset not sending the works I post to literary journals; many journals do not accept previously published works. I will put up a list of the works I choose for this next journal entry.
