I started taking piano lessons last tuesday afternoon and had my second lesson yesterday.

I've been playing for twenty years, so I can play some things well, but I taught myself, so there's a lot I don't know. My teacher, after checking me out at the first lesson, selected a near-beginning method book for me, and said that it would cover some things I might not know. She's expecting (and I think she's right) that I'll go through it quickly.

Writing

I decided last night I want to start writing for pay. I need to find my way out of computer programming before I'm unable to write code altogether. I'm able to work right now, but I can see how the time will come that I can't program anymore.

I've been meaning to write a book for years, but never get it together to complete one. But I do well at writing articles. So my plan right now is to write an article during the month of February that I'll try to sell. I don't have anything specific in mind, but most likely will try to write something technical to sell to a computer magazine.
