Like most of you, I thought it was "just me" with the on-again, off-again ability, regardless of practice time...but for me it's not only musical. The interest and enthusiasm must be there for whatever I'm working on whether that's costuming, baking, playing the guitar, singing or even cleaning my (*&&*%()@# house! If I'm not interested no amount of practice is going to help....when I'm interested and enthused - time flies by, the music sounds right to me and those around me, the garment fits and the dust actually leaves for a couple of days...
