It’s good advice, of course, but mostly I was impressed by the execution.This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

Something Old
As a child I loved drawing... on walls and my sister's notebooks. I can still recall having my older sister scold me for drawing on my younger sister's school notebooks. As I got older I had this girl give me one class, and from there I took off. My art was still out of context with big lips small bodies and big heads... slowly my art started evoluting into something that didn't quite hurt your eyes that much. I later had another couple of lessons with pastels and chalky colors.... but I never really had a thing for colors. a while later I took like 3 classes out of a course with another teacher... but that didn't last long either. But I kept going... By the time I was 13 my art improved and I created things out of my imagination. Fantasy was always my favortie subject for drawing. A few days ago I found this... I drew it when I was 13 :)
For a while I drew faries and the such... then people. I was never good with animals or plants and I always imagined I'd draw something worth posting on my wall... but that never really happened.
As of now (5 years later) I can draw portraits (somethign i was never able to do until recently) and the such. For now... this is it. I'll post more later.

Something else
Now that my Picture assignment is over, i'm kind of racking my brain as to what to post here. I've got a few ideas: Now i'll put up something different. You might have seen some of my art, either here facebook or elsewhere, now i'm taking up some art assignments and projects... now that I have a bit of time on my hands, I think I might post some here. I'm not a super great artist or anything so... please be easy on me. Critics are welcome, and so is encouragement :) Love you guys!

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most
Wow.... this one was hard... not a lot of people have seen me really cry (as in out of real emotion) usually i cry out of frustration... and most of those hard times I was alone. I never really had a shoulder to cry on so the "person who got me through the most" I think deserves this place.
