Never drawn a fish before!

@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers here's a followup to yesterday's prompt. This is a still life taken with my iPhone through the viewfinder of my Canon Rebel with a Petzval lens.
@stevefoerster.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Day 30:
What was the last song you listened to?
River Guide You by The Movement
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers ~30 What was the last song you listened to? Aside from the spa playlists I put on at work, I listened to the Ricki Lee Jones cover of “Rebel Rebel” and then I listened to a live Bowie version of it.
@steventalkingbooks.bsky.social#ScribesAndMakers: September 30: "What was the last song you listened to?" Listened to instead of it just playing: Poe, Hello. I will forever be mad at record executives who terminated Poe's next three record contract just because (the guy didn't like women making music).
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers ~29 What fruit do you like best for a still life? I'm gonna go with pomegranate, which a few other people have said so far. My girlfriend gave me a few pomegranates from her garden last weekend. I intend to take photos of them this week. One of them was split open on the tree […]

What fruit do you like best for a still life?
Berries. They're like little gems of colour and light. They can hang, heap, scatter on a surface.
Can *I* paint them? No. Not relevant to the question.
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 29 Sep: What fruit do you like best for a still life?
I've only tried apples, so I don't know whether I would prefer peaches, grapes, or bananas.
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers ~28 How satisfied are you with the creative work you've done this month?
Meh. I've not had a lot of energy to do much creative work but when I did last week, I got this dragon photo.
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Day 28: How satisfied are you with the creative work you've done this month?
I've finally made time for painting again, tiny miniatures and cats in acrylic. To someone with skill, it probably looks terrible but it's mine, and I'm proud.
I've failed utterly at the piano, but I […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers ~27 Was there a time you got stuck this month? If so, how did you get through it?
Yes. I asked for an extension on the deadline for my article and got nine more days. I don't think I'd ever done that before. Sometimes health stuff makes it hard to concentrate enough to write.

Was there a time you got stuck this month? If so, how did you get through it?
There was. I didn't. I continue my long run of stories with a strong beginning and either a missing middle or end.
I get stuck mostly by not feeling able to sit and write the next bit, even […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gyHey #ScribesAndMakers I'm writing an article about Eating with the seasons from a Chinese Medicine point of view. It occurs to me that the seasonal food I eat in California is probably a little different than what you get in your areas.
Can you tell me some foods you're growing in your garden […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers ~25 Our next featured creator uses a separate Fedi account dedicated to their book. Do you use different accounts for different creative purposes?
This is my general Fedi account. I do have a pixelfed account where I post photos I've taken and embroidery I've made […]
@steventalkingbooks.bsky.social#ScribesAndMakers September 25: "Our next featured creator uses a separate Fedi account dedicated to their book. Do you use different accounts for different creative purposes?"
Funny you ask. I just started this account to separate my writing craft from my fire hose of sense and nonsense.
@petealexharris.mastodon.scot.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 25 Sep
Our next featured creator uses a separate Fedi account dedicated to their book. Do you use different accounts for different creative purposes?
Not much. I have a pixelfed I hardly use. I have a different email just for writer stuff that I don't use yet. I thought about […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers ~24 Our next featured creator will donate a portion of proceeds from book sales. Have you ever put proceeds from sales towards a cause you believe in?
Yes, I do that with sales of my special essential oil blends, and sometimes with photographs.
@farbel.mas.to.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Have you ever put proceeds from sales towards a cause you believe in?
As a painter, may times. I sold paintings to give aid to Katrina, after 9-11, and donated work to multiple silent auctions over the years. Never made much money from my writing.
@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers – 24th Sept. Our next featured creator will donate a portion of proceeds from book sales. Have you ever put proceeds from sales towards a cause you believe in?
No, but Toke and I have done things pro-bono.
@pixelpaperyarn.bsky.social#ScribesAndMakers September 23: Choose a noun that is representative of you as a creative person.
Notebooks. Sometimes digital, always essential.
