Hi! I’m scared stiff. It will be absolutely fabulous if a million and one things don’t go wrong. The one I’m most worried about is tensing up like a board for the first half of the coda of the Liszt. Other than that I should be equable to whatever happens. Hopefully I don’t have any memory slips.
…This is really quite a lot of music. I only realize that occasionally.
Cheers! Hope to see some of you there!
In Microsoft Word, buried in the Options in a list of unused functions, is an ‘autosummary’ function. I found out about this on the NNWM website, and made some summaries of my novel (which sucks, by the way, so I’m going to have to rewrite most of it and cut the rest – because I can’t revise something already written. I just want to keep what I wrote the first time, which does not help me improve!). Anyway, here is a 14 word summary. …Flairé is oddly pleased with it, but he wants me to let you know that the ‘cried’ doesn’t refer to tears.
Zela… “Zela! “Zela?”
“Run, Flairé!” Flairé?”
“Flairé? Flairé smiled. Flairé cried. “Flairé?
Flairé cried.
The 48 word version and the 98 word version are pretty much exactly the same, just… more.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think my novel should now be called “Flairé Gets Called a Lot“.
A small sketch of where I (gasp) replace Seth and co. with Syrene!! (down here towards the end of the chapter)I think it makes sense, personally, and considering I already wrote Eirika’s Story and have most of the characters in there, especially Seth, I needed to use other characters to provide emphasis. I’m gonna miss Kyle and Forde, though. They were wasted on Eirika’s Story. But they needed to go with her. No more silly banter from the social knights, but Syrene is here to save the day! I like her. I pair her with Innes, though that’s probably so uncanon that people are shooting me dirty looks now. I’m not sure what to do with the other Frelians, though. I don’t find them the most interesting characters, actually. I’ll figure out something.
