sunday.
I thought I was tired yesterday? It was nothing compared to how I feel right now, I am knackered. Completely wiped out.
This has been a weekend, I guess.
Concert yesterday went very well. It was long, though, like, three hours long, but I survived and the music was really good. The young adult category all played beautiful concertos and I especially loved the Tchaikovsky I shared yesterday! However, the stand-out yesterday was no doubt the Japanese 12 year old who played Mendelssohn and Chopin for her mini-recital. She was so melodious and lyrical in her interpretation and very soft, very empathetic. I loved her. I hope she'll return in a few years, older and even more talented.
A German boy won, 18 years old, it was his birthday. That was special. I really liked the Rachmaninoff by the Danish contestant who placed second. Very, very good. Although I am never going to listen to Rachmaninoff that isn't live, OMG, I couldn't bear it.
Give me Chopin any day.
Currently I'm listening to Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words all thanks to the Japanese contestant. It was really inspiring.
However, today I have been completely worn out. First Friday, then Saturday's concert and I have just needed to sit down and do nothing but what I enjoy and can find the energy for. Which means I've been writing a lot today. I've kept to my schedule for this novel and managed to finish chapter 5 at 21.480 words! Tomorrow I'm going to make prep work for chapter 6 and then, in two-three days, that'll be done and I'll be halfway through my novel!!! OMG.
Can't believe it, tbh. I'm working so intently on this thing and I'm enjoying it?? Has never happened before. I swear.
We're having chicken tonight for dinner and I should probably catch a wink before having to make it, but I don't really wanna. I feel like that obstinate five year old: I don't wanna nap, mommy. I just wanna keep working and working, until it's done. And I'm only halfway there, argh. So much work ahead.
Send good writing vibes my way, ok?
