Write Every Day: Day #14

[auroracloud]

Meh. Still tired. I slept a normal amount, I guess, but I kept waking up every hour or so throughout the night, which was damned tiring. Today been incredibly listless and tired, and I've had so much I had to do. Took several hours to find the energy for any of that, so I also haven't got around to my own writing yet. I'm getting nervous about Yuletide; I was really supposed to start the editing today, but since I need to be off soon, I guess that isn't happening. I realised that I'm going to be away for most of Saturday and probably won't have any energy when I get back home, so I'll effectively need to have the story ready to post by Friday evening, and there's so much to do. Argh. I hope tomorrow's better.

On the upside, we've got snow again. Wonder how long it'll last this time. And I got most of my Christmas cards done.

I'll get back to comments in the evening, I hope.

Today's writing

Did an alibi sentence on a fic just now. I'd like to get more done later, but we'll see if I manage. (ETA: Just a tiny bit of notebook scribbling, nothing major. Seeing how late I'm staying up, I guess I could have done writing, but well, I read fic and posted my Fandom Stocking. It made me feel better, though.)

Great, thank you! Also for the link, I hadn't seen this myself.

I know so well what you mean about the singing! The choir I now re-joined was my first adult choir, under another choirmaster, and didn't do literature I liked for the longest time. Sadly, the current choir-master hasn't done anything for young singers, so only rarely new people joined, and the whole choir grew older and older, and lost more and more of the former proficiency. They don't have the level by far you'd expect of a church district choir hereabouts, and the average age is 65, I think. I didn't join for the longest time because they didn't to pieces I was interested in. But next year, also the last of the current choir-master, it's the Carmina Burana which is the piece I've desired the most ever to sing; and I joined now because I haven't sung for so many years. I thought at first I would find it hard to not mind the lessened proficiency level, particularly since I've sung at several ambitious choirs since; but to my surprise, just the singing at all, the being part of that harmonious structure, is so awesome that I don't want to miss it ever again, as long as I'm able to. It gives me so much joy and relaxation, so much energy and strength, and I really needed that.
