Hit That Wall… Again

Circles Exercise from Medium Article “A quick beginner’s guide to drawing”

I have been here on medium (apparently!) as a freeloader for a while. And now I’m hitting that “You need to Pay Up” wall on some things. Can leave applause *sigh*. Cannot respond on some things, or even see other’s responses.

Full disclosure; it actually says — “Become a Member”

And unlike other places on the internets, here on Medium, you actually wanna read the comments… That’s more than half the fun for me. It is all about conversation for me. Or “The Conversation” is the way I have put it elsewhere.

I feel I have become better informed, learned a bunch of things about techniques on some things that interest me. Writing (it’s making my mind itch, in a GOOD way) and drawing (some of which is giving me writer’s cramps) just to mention two. There’s more, lots more I am sure.

Hell, I’m even reading poetry which, unfortunately for me I am starting to realize, I never had much use for, unless it was for song lyrics or summat like that.

As I sit here at my desk running through my *0 play count* smart playlist (it is a much bigger list that I would have thought, thanks to the iTunes™ algorithm that creates it, ThankYouVeryMuch! Apple…) whilst reading, writing, and drawing

So… to join or not to join…

HAH!
