Hansel and Gretel - Prelude of the Curse

So I made a new song for Hansel and Gretel. I actually made this song with Mixcraft 6, instead of my normal microphone and keyboard. I'll probably be making the next few songs with Mixcraft, so let me know if you like it!


 "Prelude of the Curse" is based off the events of Hansel and Gretel being abandoned in the forest. The song focuses more on the tragic side of it, unlike the two songs before it, which were more fear based songs. But this song in particular can be seen in a fearful way, but it's more like a personal fear instead of a scary song altogether. But once you read the comic and get to the part where Hansel and Gretel are abandoned, this song will definitely fit the mood.

 I'll be making a new poem too, but maybe it'll be during the week. My last post said that the poem will focus more on Hansel and Gretel's life in the woods. It'll also hint at future stories that are related to Hansel and Gretel. I do hope that you are looking forward to it! I'll also be showing some of the comic next week. Until that time comes, take care!

New Song, Poem, and Book in the Works

 I have some exciting new products in the works! It's my goal to get the Tales of Fabula recognized by as many people as possible, so I dive into multiple sources of media that are available to me. Most of you have already heard the music I have made, but I want to do something a little more with the music. So far, all my songs are instrumental, which is probably going to be the case for the fairy tales that are in the Fabula series. However, I really want to make a song that has lyrics to it. As it stands, I'm making my normal songs, with just music. However, before the year is over, expect at least one song that has lyrics in it. I'm excited for it, and hopefully you will be too. More information about the song will come in the future.

 I also have plans to make a new poem for next week. The poem will most likely center around Hansel and Gretel's life in the woods. The poem will talk about things before the events that take place in the comic and it might give hints to future stories. Most of the time, my poems don't rhyme, so I hope for this next one to have at least some rhyming in it. It's just the way older poems are told, so I want to kind of do that myself. It's not THAT important to me, but I think it would be good to do so once in a while.

 Lastly, I wanted to mention that I'm working on a coloring book.It's not really a Tales of Fabula coloring book, but it does feature fairy tale stories. It's actually meant to be for a service project that I'm doing. I am making hygiene kits for a woman's shelter, and as a gift for the kids that they have with them, I'll be giving these books to them. Now to help out with this, I'm leaning to selling these online for maybe $3.00 (not including shipping) and every cent will be donated to the charity. I'm not sure if I'll do this due to production costs, but I really want to do charity things like this. I think it would be a good opportunity to use my skills to benefit someone else who is in need. Let me know what you think and maybe we can make this work.

 Not much else to report on, but I am getting ready to make some huge announcements in the coming weeks. I still have the goal to release Hansel and Gretel by next month, and once I do, the next story in line will be revealed. It's going to be awesome!
