I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well.
I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to think of everything that would impact a character in any given scene.
The whole thing means such a great deal for me, and hopefully one day it will be there. But my friends and my family mean a little more. I would rather be helping them, even if it hurts that.
