Practice, practice, practice!

I practice as much as I possibly can and wonder how much practice does it take to make a difference.

I hate practice. It's so boring for me. But it is essential. Most pros practice every day! That has got to tell you something. I think you need more pratice when you are first starting out. But you can learn the wrong technique & practice that over & over & then it's hard to change to the correct style. Ooops, now what? Ideally you have a pro looking over your shoulder, guiding your every step. Wouldn't that be nice!
