Through chapters 15-18 in Bitterwood. Also finished the audio book of The Road, which didn't end as bleakly as I thought it would. I give it a thumbs up overall.
Exercise
It's looking like I'm going to slack today, but I'll make up for it tomorrow. Otherwise, I've been keeping to the routine.
Music
Keeping on top of my piano lessons and practicing. Monday was the last regular rehearsal of the season for the chorus I sing with. We have a dress rehearsal tonight and a concert Sunday, and then it's only church choir and some solo stuff on my plate through June. I'm kind of dreading tonight's rehearsal. We've done the concert once already and have had two regular rehearsals since then to brush up on the music, but I have the feeling that we're still going to go through everything in its entirety and then some instead of just doing what's necessary to adjust to a different space and acoustics. I wish we had spent more time on Carmina Burana (particularly the diction--I tend to pick that stuff up pretty easily, but I'm hearing a lot of mush around me), but the other pieces on the program (especially our chamber choir pieces) have been beaten to death, and then backed over with a truck for good measure. Rehearsing is important, but there comes a point of diminishing returns.
Writing
I've been hit or miss with the writing this week. Some days I've been super productive girl. Other days, like today, a little tinkering is about all I seem capable of accomplishing. On the plus side, I finished rewriting chapter 4 of My Big Fat Epic Fantasy Novel. On the downside, that's only because I'm splitting what was originally one long chapter into two smaller ones. Either way, I'm about 11,400 into the rewrite.
