Keeping myself honest

[ksmith]

Copying from rolanni in the hopes that posting progress may actually goad me into making some.

Progress on Endgame: 297 words. Ended the scene as well, which was nice.

Practiced guitar for about a half hour--did so last night as well, and will try to do so every night. Had my first lesson on Monday. I think I'll like my teacher. He started me off with a few chords, and seemed pleased that I was able to remember a few points from all those lessons gone by. I ordered the lesson book, which should be here by Friday. I hope I can stick with this because I really want to learn to play.

Waiting for the info/password/whatever that I need to log onto my online tech writing class, which starts on Monday. I imagine this will bite into Endgame, but only for 6 weeks.

I don't have much trouble growing callouses. I've only been practicing since Monday, one-half hour a day, and the fingertips of my left hand already feel a little rougher/thicker/firmer.

My fingernails are a pain, however. I need to keep my left hand filed almost down to the quick so that the remaining nail doesn't hit the fretboard, and my nails grow fast. If the hair on my head grew as thick and as fast as my fingernails, I would be a happy girl.

And hand strength. Need to work on hand strength. I have one of those Gripmaster exercisers--guess I should dig it out.
