"And I remember
You would whisper
Sweet November nothings"

~ Big Country, Sweet November Nothing's

Hullo,

I can't remember all I wrote in my last entry but most of it was pretty boring and irrelevant to anything. However, my battle against procrastination has gone... quite good actually. And my novel writing hasn't gone at all and, frankly, I'm neither surprised nor disappointed. I lacked ideas and have to admit myself defeated, at least for the first half of the month. I'm still waiting for that idea to come, preferably like Guide to Shade hit me one fine October evening (or was it morning? noon? lunchtime? teatime?). I had the first chapter in my head for a week at least when I started writing it, and the rest is history, eh? Or will be when I can be bothered to keep writing the bloody thing.

It's not entirely lackofidea's fault anyway, it's mostly my love to performing music's fault. Last weekend we did two gigs (we being that folk-music-playing-group-of-people I mentioned briefly earlier) and we'll do two gigs next week. So there's been a lot of practising for that. Which I enjoy greatly. However, I badly need a new flute so if anyone has ~1500€ to spare, you can always sponsor a flutist-in-need. *nudge nudge say no more say no more*

So, now you wonder why the heck you're reading this and why the heck I'm writing it, but despair not! You're not alone.

Haven't done much writing at all since last journal entry, wrote a poem earlier today. Or some lyrics, to be precise. I hereby, with utmost modesty, announce that it's the cheesiest love song I have written to this day. And I have even played around enough with my guitar to figure out some fitting chords for it. So if I feel terribly keen to embarrass myself one day, I'll record the song and let you hear.

This weekend I will write a short story/novella-esque thing though. Chances that I'll upload it when it's finished are pretty good, y'know, so keep your fingers crossed and such.

Did I mention how brutally fantastically awesome it is to perform lovely folk music live together with fantastic musicians before an applauding crowd?

P.S. It tells me I can use skins. Fantabulous, shame I can't for my life figure out how to. And can't be bothered to do any further research.
