...I'm gonna start drawing, damnit. I don't care if I get home and only have one hour before I have to leave again for a fresh shift in the morning, I'm going to take time to draw SOMETHING every day, starting tonight... Just one bit of doodling a day at a minimum...

I don't care if I don't get any better at anything except hands... And yes, I just heard every damn last one of you artists groan at me for having no problem drawing hands... guess what. I can't draw anything else right now really, not even a profile sketch of a body or an arm, but I can draw hands no problem.

[A partial hand sketch]

Oh, and yes, I bite my nails that badly...

...as in, yes, that's a sketch based on my own hand, and my fingernails are that far retracted to the point I'm considering having them permenantly removed just so I can stop biting them bloody. =-.-=

Wouldn't it just be better if you learned no to bite them at all? :-)

Yes, it would be, but I've tried everything from wearing gloves, to painting icky-tasting things on my fingernails... truth is, I don't care for having them at all where they are anyways. They're just finger-covers, and with how much I bite them I've learned I don't and can't rely on them to help with everyday tasks, to say nothing of my toenails...

If I could afford a surgical transplant to re-position the nail matrix and cuticle into a more usable position that I liked better, I'd pounce on it. But near as I can tell such a surgery would cost on the order of $10k per appendage under local anastetic, and have a really long recover time like most hand or foot surgeries. =^.^=

Yes, I'm one of those folks that tends to figure out how various surgeries could be performed, though in my case I can't afford to actually do them, so I just try to help those with the money and willingness to go through with them. :-)

Just don't tell me that you bite your toe-nails too! ;-)
