It's a bit of a slow news week for Ceiling Fan Song, but gearing up for big progress on the song in October!!!

Last couple weeks I've been in work sprint mode for my online teaching stuff. 

Here's my latest creation, a rough sketch of a new logo. Fine art! Sharpie marker on legal pad. 

:-P

What do you think?

I love my wide ruled TOPS writing pads with the brown crinkled paper wrapper at the top. Makes me feel like I actually work in a law firm in the 1970s. Give me a gel pen and I'll write on those for miles.

That reminds me of a fun fact. I learned to type on an actual type writer with a Mavis Beacon paper BOOK. 

By "learned to type" I actually mean that I learned the home key positions, got through about page 10, and then went off on my own weird combo of typing and pecking that I use to this day!

It's a little crazy looking. Not very efficient. Or accurate. But completely comfortable to me!!

That habit persists in my texting. Just the other day a shop keeper saw me texting into my phone as I took a note on something she said. She goes, "You text fast but with a weird technique!" 

I use just one thumb and one finger. 

Reminder next week is First Friday when I'll take a little break, cozy up in my hobbit hole. I'll be practicing and getting all the ducks in a row.

The next studio days will be much more planned and execution based, less song writing and experimentation. It's becoming so clear now what needs to be done.

Thank you for being here and helping me make this dream song a reality!! 

xoxo,
Jenny

I think I just found out why you "strike a chord" with me. You remind me of me.... I had a train of thought when I was in high school that I would take one "what are you doing" class per year. My second year was typing. And yes I learned to type using the traditional method and was the only boy in the class. Today people marvel at my ability to use a keyboard and that is why. Texting is a lost art on me, I was talking to my daughter tonight who said "Don't be coy, you know more about technology than anyone in the family". Perhaps I do, but that doesn't mean I want you to know it. I love your icon, or design, or "whatever it is properly called". One of my next projects is to purchase a CNC router (after I finish welding up a set of gates for my mom's triangle) and when I do, I might very well blackmail you with a sign for a lesson or something. Take care of yourself and Oscar most of all. You know now that you "have it", just keep it going. Jim

Don’t think sending cups with logos to Australia is practical. Might use permanent marker for logo and pretend? Hmmm think I will just listen to some violin 🎻 music, wonder who I should listen to?

Jim. I so enjoyed reading this. I know what you mean! I resonate with so much you are saying and am happy to know a few more details about you.
