I'm not used to regularly checking in with this blog.  I have enjoyed the exercise but have not integrated it into my daily practice or routine.  With learning to play the piano I immediately began to practice regularly, knowing that was the only way to be able to learn.  Writing has never been a natural or easy thing for me.  I don't believe I do it well, I can't spell and, ... why would anybody else be interested in what I am thinking about? Now I do know that all that applies to the piano as well, so what is the difference?

* I have a weekly piano lesson that costs a lot to hold me accountable, so I need to make some progress. 
* And after 4+ years I actually practice because I want to and miss it if I can't.
* I have no intention to play for anyone else, or perform. This blogging is all about communicating with others.
* My studio work has always had a life outside my control.  It has been hung up in Galleries to be judged &/or enjoyed and has been bought and even worn and cherished. I don't have too much trouble anymore with showing the work, but its the speaking or writing about it.  Do I even believe it is a worthwhile venture?
