It should follow that virtually everyone else does the same sort of thing.<br /><br />I lack the ability, nay, the talent to do captions, but I do loves me some discussion about how the process works and that's one of the many reasons I enjoy this place, even if I fail to comment most of the time. Maybe when my move is over I will finally find some time to write more fiction, maybe.Joanna Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765570687013090805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-70921549511384111682013-07-29T16:42:54.826-04:002013-07-29T16:42:54.826-04:00I still have lyrics I've written from 10-15 ye...I still have lyrics I've written from 10-15 years ago that I have in case I need them. Either they didn't fit the music I had for them, or I only had a verse or two then wandered off due to my ADHD or ADD or whatever it I probably have.<br /><br />When it comes to captions, I probably have a graveyard of 20 captions on my drive that I never finished. Every month or so I look at them to see if I have another idea .. sometimes I end up refashioning them completely, or just tweak them enough for me to be happy with them.<br /><br />Trust me. I am not like Caitlyn where I can/will stress out over every detail. If I can't finish the caption in 15 minutes or so, I save it where its at, and then move on to something else.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-84076239887427698722013-07-29T16:39:32.780-04:002013-07-29T16:39:32.780-04:00I think I did one where I posted a picture or two ...I think I did one where I posted a picture or two but no one responded.<br /><br />Perhaps if we did a combined effort on our blogs we might get a bit more of a response.

I think with everything you do the thing is to enjoy it. Your advice above is good and the more you do and study that can not hurt. I do a few captions on Mandy's duressed into dresses blog just for fun but don't think I well push any boundaries.<br />my own hobby is oil painting I have many unfinished because I felt I was not good enough and stressing myself out now I do it for my own pleasure and if others like it that's great I just except the level I am at and keep plugging away.<br /> Don't think everything you start has to be perfect first time even professional writers have full waste paper bins and artists wiped canvases.<br /> Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089075373700373443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-11757157144648281592013-07-29T02:40:41.376-04:002013-07-29T02:40:41.376-04:00I hope you end up doing more challenges now.
