kayre2065 words! I could go on, but instead I’m spending what creative energy I have left on more outlining and planning. Tomorrow I’ll finish the first chapter; the chapters following that are far too abstract at this point.
Music is going well. Last Sunday I played possibly the best I ever have at my current church-- my prelude was note-perfect and exciting, and the hymns went well, even the free harmonization on the first hymn. I still get distracted towards the end of my offertory when I need to check to see if the ushers are done, though. I have my music planned out through November, which will hopefully give me time to start looking at Christmas music early, as well as reducing the music-selection stress while working on NaNoWriMo.
I’m writing this at the stable. I came with the kidlet because I was afraid there might not be anyone else here, and indeed there isn’t. (We don’t allow her to ride totally unsupervised.) So we took advantage of the empty arena and brought a jump inside. Anyone who doubts that some horses truly like jumping should have seen Whisper when I started setting up the jump. She had been plodding lazily along.... suddenly her ears pricked forward and her trot kicked up a couple of gears. She virtually never refuses a jump; the real challenge is to persuade her to jump under control, rather than racing forward as fast as she can.
