Also - I absolutely loved the show in Prague! And the video blog was so awesome! I am so glad that you were able to do that with your friends - it was awesome! Thanks for the photo montage - it's on my fridge :) I wanted to express how grateful I am for all you have done and all your hard work on Smallville. The character of Chloe you have created has been so inspiring to me! I even started writing again after a 12 year hiatus - and I have never been happier! After I finish my smallville fic I plan on finishing a sci-fi novel that I'm co-authoring with a friend - thank you so much for your tireless efforts to spread artistic expression and for being such an inspiration to me and all my young writer girlfriends - we look forward every week to our cram sessions & I hope we do your character justice. Keep up the hard work and good luck in all your endeavors. Have a great summer... :) Allison, I know just want you mean – I love suffering for my writing – it makes it feel more worthwhile…

If you really want to learn, you have to keep going. No matter how tough it gets, you will only get better with practice. And of course, motivation is the key if you are learning on your own. What you have to do in the beginning (and for a long time...) is to condition your fingers more than actually play some beautiful melody, which is hard to assimilate for some people who give up because don't fell like they're getting good enough fast enough. But not you, I hope :) It's cool how you share that your pain makes you human, although I prefer other feelings to remind me that I'm alive which is why I have an electric guitar (less strain on the left had fingers for a righty). I do have an acoustic guitar, my grandma gave it to me and I hope to play "Angeles" on it some day (Elliott Smith). I do know "Dust in the wind" and "Blackbird", cool finger picking songs. I can't sing AND play simultaneously though, that's just asking too much ;) Keep it up, don’t give up!

"Finger tips of steel"....now those would be useful..and soon to be with you, I think! Just stay away from washing the dishes once you get them! (We'll, I've always managed to get away with that one!!!)...But where do you get time to put in the practice??..Just keep up the good work, and the pain WILL go away, to be replaced by infinite pleasure...xoxo Hi there,

I like feeling that when I do something at the end it was worth it! Like I actually did a good job and earned the reward. Example if I stay in my house all day and I don't do any housework or anything I feel... I don't know. Like I didn't accomplish anything! I hate feeling like I'm being a sloth ( is that how you say it?) I like to do my job RIGHT. Xo Maria I totally understand what you mean!

Lots of luck with the training, it's all growth and that's good. I do like the guitar, but the saxaphone’s my instument of choice. Callouses on your lips really hurt!
