I grabbed my ukelele that I hadnt picked up in 3 years, (I have played other instruments since!) I tried to remember the tuning and wrote a little tune in 10 mins and posted it where it needed to go. <br />Now I am trying to work out how to set up a podcast channel/RSS feed and post it for my blog ;-) I am scared it is not great and just recorded it live with my bad playing, and working out the tune as I went.. but OK is better than perfect and never heard.<br />Only just discovered you John,great work and inspiration! <br />I relaunched my blog and soon to be podcast channel so glad I found you, I am going to join your 23 13 Challenge and be posting/Tweeting about it.Marysiahttp://loveyourcreativity.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-81505687839275820282013-03-12T18:24:55.723-07:002013-03-12T18:24:55.723-07:00Cool.

The orchestra is software, East/West Symphony Orchestra Gold. I love the voices it comes with.<br /><br />Speaking of, your orchestra sounds good! I hadn't heard of that publisher before, gonna have to check them out. It gave a good punch to the end of Detective One. I particularly like the guitar tone you have going in there....clean and fat.<br /><br /><br /><br />www.centralbatterymusicworks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395642861205140119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-43948173397014231262013-03-12T06:11:50.031-07:002013-03-12T06:11:50.031-07:00Excellent Ingrid!

I didn't get anything finished for this week, but did get ALOT of sketches and layouts done for a couple of maps, and also laid out (and nearly finished) an art card featuring some lettering, something I used to do way before I came on the internets. :-) I hope to have stuff to show next weekend.<br /><br />And not a bad idea about a cartography site.

I struggle with that balance myself. <br /><br />Would love to see your fictional map. Maps add so much to a fantasy novel, in my opinion. <br /><br />I'm delighted that so many folks are keeping up with this. It makes me happy. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143649147780871139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149451212820771857.post-50653469601039121442013-03-04T07:48:35.498-08:002013-03-04T07:48:35.498-08:00Busy, busy.
