@rolena-hatfield I’ll go ahead and pipe in here. I haven’t read them in forever, so I can’t say exactly how good they are, but I remember my favorite lamplighter books being The Prisoners of The Sea, The Rober’s Cave, The Hidden Hand, Hans the Crucified, and Fire In The Sky.

@emma-l Wow, 10 years, that’s amazing, Emma! 😀 Are you wanting to pursue a musical career, or writing? (or something else entirely! 😀 )
@rolena-hatfield Yesh, that’s right 😉Currently reading Les Miserables
@Emma-L Ooh yes, cello and oboe are awesome too. (Provided they’re playing nice music, of course. 😛 A good kind for those are slow and dramatic and also sad pieces.)
@emma-l Your book list sounds like mine! 🙂 Although, I have never heard of the Lamplighters books except on KP. What are they? Is it a series?
@sarah-h Here.

@rolena-hatfield Thanks! I have not personally read these but I have heard that Prisoners of the Sea and The Printer of Udell’s are really good Lamplighter books! My personal favorites have already been listed, but I also like A Lost Pearle, The House of Love, Stepping Heavenward, and Amy and Her Brothers. I haven’t really started any “writing projects” in a while, but I was doodling around with a poem yesterday. About the Irish whistle, it probably is the sound that you hear in Irish music, but I am not that good and I haven’t played in a while. 🙂
@perfectfifths I am actually thinking about getting into foreign missions, so I plan on getting a nursing degree in college and teach music and write on the side! 🙂@emma-l That’s amazing! 😀 So music and writing is going to be more of a hobby for you? 🙂 Is there any specific place you feel God is calling you to serve missions in?

@ethryndal Oh, cool! Thanks for the link. 🙂
@emma-l That’s really neat!@perfectfifths I will probably write and teach music on the side. 🙂 I don’t really know where God wants me to go, but I plan on going on several missions trips in the next couple of years. 🙂 Do you plan on having a writing career?
@emma-l That’s so exciting! For a career, I’m not sure whether I’m going to have a musical career or writing, because both are my two biggest passions. I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was about 10 (I’ve been making up stories pretty much all my life, getting my mum to write them down before I could) but that was before the violin 😉

@perfectfifths Why, your career path is perfectly clear. You need to write music.

@daeus LOL! XD That’s great! But I’ve tried (albeit, not very hard 😉 ) to write music – it ain’t easy. I’ve made arrangements from existing music (namely LOTR soundtrack) does that count?? 😉 😀

@perfectfifths Eh, well, maybe you can just sing stories. One thing I’ve thought about doing is writing music completely by ear. Maybe that’s how most people do it. I actually haven’t the slightest clue. But anyway, I can compose a song on the spot, I just need to be able to edit it. Well, with an audio software like audacity, I could edit it all I want. There now. I’ve revealed my hypocrisy. I’ve been wanting to try that for years and haven’t even pulled up a file to do it.

@daeus Yeah, I think music is composed by ear, seeing as you can’t copy what some else has written (‘cuz it’s not written yet 😉 ) I’m pretty good at figuring out songs by ear, just not writing my own. I use a program called MuseScore to write out music, which is pretty easy to use once you have a basic idea how to do it. Being able to compose on the spot is really clever. I have a friend who can’t read music, but he can play the piano by ear and it sounds amazing! How do you do it?? 😀

@perfectfifths I hope it didn’t sound like I can write down music on the spot. That would be impressive. I just mean I create a song by singing it at any time impromptu and I really don’t know how I do that.
