Sounds like we are of the same mind on nails…purely utilitarian. Yours for ease in ‘playing’ the typing keyboard, and mine for playing my primary instrument.

Makes so much sense for a guitarist. So practical! I never thought about the differences in tone and the correlation to nail care.
I’m looking at my nails now. . . . Some of the nails on my left hand are slightly longer than those on my right hand. I type a lot, so they break sometimes. Or I cut them. I don’t like typing with long nails.

What I find interesting is that even though he hasn’t played in our house for many years we still find guitar picks occasionally. Under this cabinet or behind that chair even in my tool box in the garage. Very mysterious those guitar picks..

Oh yes, and I didn’t even go into the different levels of filing and polishing involved…of which I had neglected the final step with jeweler’s grade (very fine) sandpaper!!!
This bottom line of needing to ‘clear/clean’ one’s desk in order to enable a harmonious & prosperous workspace is a point well made.
Hope the novel is progressing well for you.

I had no idea nail care was such an essential part of playing the guitar, but it makes sense. I suppose this is true in all practices, the need to guard against slopping habits or neglect (the need to clear my desk once in a while so I am working on my novel in a more harmonious atmosphere.)
