Any writers, musicians, visual artists, etc. here?

[thetreble 19]

So, some times we post on here all day without ever knowing anything too personal about each other. And of course, some of us have more personal relationships with certain members than others.

I wanted to make a thread for any one who is an artist. I was a very active person in the writing community in ottawa, ontario, helping to publish a literary magazine called In/Words. But I was also very dedicated in school, working with a few other students, on the Canadian writing post-post modernist movement and what Can Lit has to offer the world.

I finally started a blog to put down some of my scribbles. http://amandadeo.blogspot.com. Do any of you have writing journals, music, etc. experiences to share? I would just really like to hear them. When I moved I lost my entire poetry world which was really hard for me. I'm just starting to gain it back with the help of a few people and of course, myself.

Interesting pieces thetreble, you remind me to write more. I used to write a lot and recently I've only written a lot on forums and not much creatively in the last while. Thanks.

I am a musician.. sing and play keys and write..

I also have put the creative side of my life on hold. moving to a new area will do that to you - so few people knew me when I moved, and knew what I was talented at... I just started to play publicly again, but haven't got back the *spark for writing again- that takes time and creative energy I'm afraid.. bah!

Does Karaoke count? Before I got together with BB, I could tell you 3 different bars on each night of the week where it was and which shows were better. I love going out and singing and wish the Karaoke scene in Columbus was half as good here as it is in Toronto. Apparently I'm pretty good too My specialties? 80's and 90's tunes you'd completely forgotten about

I make jewelry. I am in the middle of creating a website, so I will post it when it is complete. I'm hoping to launch at the beginning of December.

Interesting!

I'm also a musician myself, playing piano, guitar and vocal. I went to an Arts highschool that I had to audition to get into. It was a lot of fun.

Jednite-I am glad I am reminding you to write more. I used to write every day and actually published a book of poetry, a tiny one, on my experiences going back from Canada to the US. But if you love to write, write!! It's taken me about 2 years to get back into the swing of things and it has not been easy.

I'm not a Candian, but I'm close

I write short stories, essays, and poetry. I also teach Creative Writing. Since I left Louisiana and I started teaching high school I write much less. I should make time.

My son and daughter both sing. My husband plays bass and accordion and both kids play around on the piano.

I lived kind of close to an Arts Highschool..Unionville High. I grew up in the eastern part of Richmond Hill. Was it that one? hehe that would be kind of cool!

I'm a dramoid and used get involved with the local theatre when I lived in Canada, and I love to paint and draw as well. I still paint and draw and stuff but I haven't done anything with acting since I moved here. My husband and friends are always telling me that I should go do comedy at small clubs in Philadelphia but I am nervous.
