I am looking forward to this year as being a very creative one for me. I've been dabbling in music, writing, and other artistic things to keep my brain juices boiling. I hope by years end, some of them have laid the foundation for either some serious projects for me later in life. I feel a bit behind on a lot of them having put a lot of my hobbies on hold as I searched for myself in relationships. Now that I'm single and have ample free time, it is really refreshing to immerse myself in several hobbies.
I started a new guitar lesson with a different teacher today. It was out of his home studio in the basement of his house. I met the guy while bartending; he has the traditional aging rocker look with long hair, eyes and complexion that have seen far too many parties and not enough sun. He is super nice and also really great at guitar (mainly influenced by all the classic rock guitarists, but he is currently into Hendrix and mainly blues styles). He gave me some fingerwork to do for the next month before our next lesson. On this same subject, I accidentally spaced out my other guitar teacher giving me a lesson today, she was at my house while I was out. Secretly I just want her to disappear, but I am going to have to tell her that I need to put our lessons on hold. I just find that this current teacher works better for me right now.
Speaking of music, my friend's dad really wants me to come by this week (earlier than his March 1st schedule) and start writing music/singing. He eventually wants to perform on live mic night at the D-Note (Mondays). Heck. I'm nervous though. I don't feel like I know what I'm doing yet. Sure I can read lyrics off a screen and sing while looking at a TV, but what if I don't have any of that stuff? I guess I better prepare quickly!
(Stuff watched this week: Flight of the Conchords Season One, Manhatten)

I really like the mystery created from your language. You let me know enough, but not too much. "His lithe figure let an abundance of light in from around his form" stood out as too wordy. Also, it may just be a pet peeve of mine, but it always annoys me when i read "had exited" kind of verb phrases in fiction. Just say exited.
That verb tense (past perfect or something) is not fun to read because it stops the flow and forces me to remember time references.
I like your voice. It's soft and subtle. The tone of this whole piece would fit nicely in a penthouse forum letter. You should pretend you are a sexy blond who has a lesbian experience, and I would read it and think you were.
Because I forget who people are sometimes.
p.s. change the comment format so i can leave comments properly. just make it like this one
Alright it should be fixed now.
