How I did it: I just thought about a few of my likes and dislikes and wrote a few words about each in a post. I chose to post each random fact separately in a post as this made it easier for me to explain it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started out writing about a simple memory of an event that happened when I was a child and tried to put in as much detail as I could to turn it into a story that would be interesting to read. I asked myself, "what happened, when did it happen, and what was special about it?" then I got started. Sometimes, it wasn't just a specific event but a series of memories about things that occurred everyday and how I felt about them. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Just thought about it. And then did it. Although, I couldn't just pick just one. There are so many great musicians from every walk of life to be represented. I could have gone on and on the rest of the year picking out a new one each day and never exhausted the endless tallented people out there. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
I just haven’t had the time and inclination. I realised I have been leaving a lot of things undone offline so I tried to stay away to work on things here. Although I got some things accomplished that I thought I wasn’t getting done, I now realise I’m just as good at procastinating away from 43T as I am on it. Ha, ha.
I’ve been away awhile. Partly because our computer was down, partly because everyone needs a break now and then. I know I need to do some catching up. Send a few postcards, post about what has been happening with my life and goals, send a few cheers out.
