Vacation

First I would like to point out that after taking some time off I seem to have actually increased in my overall strength in a few areas.  I'm not sure if this is some side effect I can't explain, too much practice, or possibly I just can't remember where I used to be.  Regardless of what this means, I do need to work on taking time off in some sort of way.  I don't exactly know what this means, but that's what's going to happen.  I can tell because I start to get all panicy when I'm not getting enough things done.  I just know that this is a bad sign, so I am going to fix it.

Training Update

I think it's time for a training update.  I feel like I'm getting close to being physically able to record again.  This doesn't mean that I have recordings where I wasn't physically able to play my songs, but I know that there isn't really a point to simply record my songs again without a substantial improvement in my playing.  As I get physically stronger and more able to easily play my instrument, I can hear the quality of the song starting to improve.  The notes sound cleaner, the transitions are smoother, and I think, but I'm not sure, that my writing skills are even improving by themselves.  I'm not actually going to do any new recordings yet, but I can tell that I'm getting close.
