Songwriting Vs. Drawing
I enter my room in the basement, sit at my desk and start writing down lyric ideas for a song that would convey my feelings the way I want. Later, I switch and grab my sketchbook from the bookshelf on my left. I start sketching away some characters I have made up. These are two hobbies I enjoy taking time out of my day to do.
