Writing Diary: September 2, 2004
A slow day today; I’m not entirely sure where it went. I had to conduct an audition this morning for We’ll Meet Again, the revue of World War 2 songs I’m directing for Regina Lyric Light Opera, which somehow seemed to wipe out the whole morning, even though it really only took 10 minutes. This afternoon, I did do some work on Razor Wind; I decided I had to go back to the beginning and re-read and edit and also see if I can insert an additional viewpoint or two. Then I did some SF Canada admin stuff and…the day went away.
Tonight, more auditions (but not enough; I need many more people–maybe everyone was watching the finale of Canadian Idol?). Tomorrow, maybe I’ll be more productive.
Or, just possibly, lazier.
