My fourth guitar lesson has shown so improvement in my limited abilities, this pleases me. John really is exceptionally patient with me, and very positive about my progress. I want to get a lot of practice this week so that I can surprise him next week with a marked improvement in my skills. My fingers …
Guitar Lesson #3
Thankfully, John seemed happy enough with how I am progressing with the guitar. I was late to this class, as the traffic was crazy and I had received a phone call that I could not ignore just as I was leaving the house. I enjoy practising with my guitar, it is fun. There can be …
Three Things Challenge #31
The last day of January and Haunted Wordsmith brings us these word prompts: city skyline, hoppy taw, <your favorite bird>. Living in the penthouse apartment overlooking the city skyline had many benefits. One of which was the ability to play sneaky games of Hopscotch with a hoppy taw, sadly though, no matter what she did, …
Three Things Challenge #26
Today's prompt words from Haunted Wordsmith are sail, chair, magnetite. As they sat sail away from Port, she again cursed herself for thinking that getting a pendant made from magnetite was a good idea. All she wanted to do, now that they were safely at sea, was to sit on a chair on deck and …
Sprocket Rocket Camera
The Lomography Sprocket Rocket Panorama 35mm Camera is a simple but fun camera to use. I have had mine for a few years and I like to pull it out from time to time, as it gives you another way to think about composition. This camera takes 35mm film but each image is shot across …

I have some chromatic exercises to practice this week too. The classes are 30 minutes long, but, they feel like …

I had my first official guitar lesson this evening with a lovely guy named John. I have always wanted to learn to play guitar, but, other than buying a guitar and trying to learn on my own, I have not been to successful. My intention is to sit the Debut Grade Rock School of London …
Three Things Challenge #14
Todays Haunted Wordsmith word prompts are: automaton, magical, twilight. As she sat in front of the incredibly boring person, she wondered, were they an automaton? It would explain the unending monotone drone of their voice and the complete lack of personality if they were. Her mind wandered away from the white noise emanating from the …
Three Things Challenge #5
Today’s prompts: space, bar, slime The bar was filled shoulder to shoulder with partying people. She just wanted to find a small bit of space, so that she could wait for her friend, a smile at a stranger only returned a slimy grin from someone who looked like they had sucked a lime. It was …
