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.

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.

@daeus Fair enough.

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.

@daeus That is a really interesting principle. How did you come about thinking of that?

@ethryndal Awe, yay!!! It’s been great getting to know you, and what a wonderful 1-Year-Anniversary post. 😀 *doesn’t cry* (What do you MBTI peeps say about INFPs here? 😛 )
*dances around in glitter* So pretty! *sends you a kangaroo and a wallaby*

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]

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. 😛

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. 😀

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]

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]-

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.

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.

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. 😛 -

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. 😛 -

Have you ever tried writing, or is it definitely 100% not your thing? 😀

@catwing @sarah-anson I use meaning-of-names.com and sometimes fantasynamegenerator.com
You know when you’re a writer when you have several name generator sites bookmarked.
