NaNoWriMo and other things...

I'm at 30,160 words with my "novel". Have lost a lot of the initial drive and enthusiasm for it but I won't give up. Mainly because the story and its end is all in my head, I just have to get there. I've written the first 30,000 words as a kind of introduction to the characters and now I have to link it together with the actual action of the book. I find it hard to get the smooth transition done.
Obviously, I'll get there. Time IS running out though so I need to hurry up. Hmmm... I wonder if I can be ill sometime next week? ;-)

Other things going on at the moment are pretty much on a backburner as the novel and my choir performance on Saturday are the only things I am concentrating on now.
I can't wait to perform the Missa Solemnis with the choir. It's been an uphill battle to get some of the parts in it right, with some I just know I can't sing them (damn them high Bs!). I shall mouth during these bits. The rest I'm quite confident with and I'm really looking forward to the performance!
Only problem I have at the moment is that I feel a slight scratching in my throat and people have been sick at work - I don't need this now!!! I've been taking my Paracetamols preventively, but I'm still hoping it's all going to die down before Saturday. I don't give a damn if my throat is hurting - I WILL sing on that stage!!!

Will report again after the performance - I'll be curious to see how we will do. I don't feel we're ready really but maybe I'm being too critical!
ROLL ON SATURDAY!!!!

Oh yeah... and I'm back on Weight Watchers. Might not have been wise to start before Christmas but it's as good a time as any. There will always be excuses after excuses why I can't do it so I might as well try ;-)
