Face the Music. - Comments

Dribble Me a Drabble Contest: The layout is really pretty. The brown background, while not really an appealing color, matches the photo very well, and the sheet music border is perfect. I also adore Maya Angelou—she’s an amazing woman. That quote also has spectacular literary merit. My only complaint is that your title isn’t on the page anywhere. This could be a beautiful banner if you add the title to the bottom left-hand corner in some kind of fancy script. Otherwise, this was nicely done.

I love this drabble. This was such a great idea. I had no idea what would be made of this photo when I added it to the contest, but you took it and really made it your own. I’m hugely impressed. A lot of people declare that music saved them at some point or another, and this sort of broaches that subject from the opposite side: music is a huge part of this girl, but she’s used it as an excuse until now—a shield. Your strongest suit is the incorporation and personification of music elements. That’s absolutely spectacular; I adore it. I can’t nitpick this at all. Well done.

I like this. It speaks to me, and for some reason, makes my insides smile. :]

this is actually really interesting, and I agree that it could do well in a poem format. I'm just confused as to whether she's forced into music and doesn't really want to be or the music is a metaphor for something else entirely. anyway, this is very original. c:
