@dragon-snapper XD Not that kind of frog. The natural frogs are good. Like Frog and Toad, you know? I like Frog. He’s an ENFJ. Or an INFJ. He’s nice either way. And Josiah the Wiser’s pet isn’t bad.
*cough* I said it because she was speaking French (Bonjour!), and French people are commonly (or were, and maybe just by Brits…) known as Frogs.…[Read more]

About…3 and a half years. I started in March 2014, along with my oldest sister Elizabeth.
I’m not sorry I did, either. Even if it does get depressing sometimes. 😛 -

@Ethryndal This place would not be the same if you had not come. Nor all the peeps on it. NOPE. So we can all applaud God with a fury for what He’s put together.
And it’s really great on the writing side of things too. 😛 Because it’s wonderful to know how to write well, and KP sure does brilliantly putting out the learning.

Oh yeah, there was tape for the fingerings on the 3/4 violin I first learned on, and it made that part of learning a lot faster.

That’s true. (Alto clef…where Middle C is on the 3rd line. Or somewhere thereabouts. Not right. *raises eyebrows*) Also do you have to put your fingers further apart for each note? I tried out a friend’s viola once and it sounded slightly off at first because I’m used to the smaller amount of space between violin notes.

@Christi-Eaton WHOA, those are adorable! Great job. I love the crooked angle of the shop.

@emma-flournoy I’m glad you like them 🙂 How’ve you been otherwise?

Well, I was going to tell you I’ve been doing well, but since you asked, sickness has hit, along with a bunch of hypersensitive achiness and a cracking headache. Sooo, I’m technically not doing too well. 😛 But OTHER THAN THAT, I’m doing pretty well, all things considered. Enjoying the switch to long-sleeves and being thankful for fireplaces. ;)…[Read more]

Yup, that makes sense. 😀
Oooooh, I LOVE the sound of viola, and would probably play it if we had one. That WONDERFUL middle-deep warm range it has. *shivers* Beautiful. And when you already know violin I’m sure it won’t be so difficult.
And that’s hilarious you got your mom a cello! It’s our mom’s dream to have a cello someday, and we’ve thought…[Read more]-
Actually, it’s harder than you’d think to learn viola, even after learning violin, because the strings are different (C, G, D, A) and the clef is different, so the notes are in different places. *confusion* But yes, it is lovely. And my mum loves her cello. 😀

I tried out a friend’s viola once and it sounded slightly off at first because I’m used to the smaller amount of space between violin notes.
-
Yeah, that’s right, I think it’s middle C. The third line is a C, either way. 😛 And yeah, a little bit farther apart, because the strings are longer. The viola I’m using is my conductor’s old one, and it has tape where the fingerings go, so I just have to put my fingers where the tape is. 😛
-
Oh yeah, there was tape for the fingerings on the 3/4 violin I first learned on, and it made that part of learning a lot faster.
-
Yeah, before I got my first full-sized violin, I had to borrow one from the store I purchased it through, because it was taking forever to come. And that one had tape on the fingerboard, so by the time I had my own (many weeks later 😉 ) I didn’t need to put tape on because I had pretty much learned the fingerings.
How long have you been playing…[Read more]
-
About…3 and a half years. I started in March 2014, along with my oldest sister Elizabeth.
I’m not sorry I did, either. Even if it does get depressing sometimes. 😛 -
Yeah, it can be hard. I haven’t been learning for quite that long (mid-2015, I think), but I started a whole lot later than most people would, so I was able to learn some of it pretty quickly. I don’t practice as often as I should, though. 😛 Twice a week at least with orchestra and lessons, but still, I should do it more.
-
Twice a week…that makes me feel a little better about myself. XD I probably don’t even do that much currently though, not with consistency. I don’t have orchestra or lessons either. Being largely self-taught (and YOU-TUBE), I don’t have a whole bunch of accountability. :/
But I used to play it like 6 days a week! I have so plummeted. 😛 -
XD Yeah, I used to be really consistent too. It’s quite terrible, actually. I need to get back into doing it more, especially now since I’m also learning a second instrument.
-
Yeah, I need to too.
-
Maybe we could keep each other accountable? Set a goal to try and practise 30 minutes everyday (or something to that affect)? I’m finding keeping my word-count accountable to someone every day very helpful.

@PerfectFifths Weeeellll, I wrote when I was younger of course. The typical ripoffs and that sorta thing. Several books, historical fiction and fantasy. Not long, and NOT quality. XD Those don’t exactly count.
Since I’ve been older and know the correct ways of writing—not very much. I have, in fact, tried my hand at just a few short little…[Read more]-
Wow, lovely short answer indeed! 😀 I get what you’re saying, and I agree, sometimes I don’t feel like I have to write either, and that just makes it more fun when I do, and less stressful when I don’t (like this month so far, I’ve written at least something everyday, and I hadn’t written for weeks). It’s a passion, but I think it’s now a smaller…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton How’re things going for you?

@emma-flournoy Hey love! Everything is going well. I’m ready for Christmas break already. Everything has been so busy with papers due and exams. I’m super thrilled because I’m picking up my children’s book again and now am finally working on a couple illustrations. I only have a tiny bit, but I’ll throw them on a thread and tag you in them 🙂

Hey, that’s great! I’m going to hop over and see ’em now. 😀

Hi @jbb! Welcome to KP. You’re one of the only ISTJs on here—I know we have at least one more, but there aren’t many. So congratulations. 😉
I have no doubt being a member will be a positive experience. So far no users have expressed unhappiness with this forum. 😉 Quite the contrary.

Those stodgy old plots. XD
I just finished the third book of the Mistborn trilogy, and if I wasn’t convinced enough before, it’s now undoubtedly proven: that guy’s strength is SO the plot. Good GRIEF. It’s very, very insane. I don’t know how anyone can think up such twists and un-cliche things. Amazing. -

Ah, rewrites. I know a little about those. From semi-personal experience, ya know. Amazing revamped second drafts and that sorta thing, at least, by the author my sister. 😛 They’re kinda fun.
