After quite a lot of success I... fell asleep before managing to open my notebook for #30x30composing last night *and* the night before. Clearly further calibration re: energy levels is needed.
Today is the last day. I'm going to get my breakfast and then do my half hour, so I am not susceptible to the same error.
After today my goal is "compose every weekday" -- maybe for a 25 minute Focusmate session, maybe longer. I plan to use the #AmComposing tag for it.
Apparently this wants to be four part polyphony.
I'm kindof rubbish at writing polyphony (or so I tell myself) so treating it as an exercise. But one line in half an hour means it might take me the rest of the month just to finish a draft.
Also in poking at the text I discovered a bunch of verses that usually get left out. I think I will too, at least this time.
Time for composing again. Home stretch now!
Started composing shortly after that @hairyears said it's a half hour until supper. I forgot to set the timer but will do a few more minutes, I think it's almost ready.
I'm working on another Common Meter hymn tune, as the Benedicite just felt overwhelming tonight and I finished the Rossetti. I am reminded why it isn't really my favourite meter!
It is late but I am setting the timer for 30 minutes so I can put some music into the computer.
Did my half hour of composing... I think my first draft of the Rossetti is done now, which means tomorrow's composing will probably be transcribing that into the computer.
Well, my intention around getting composing done earlier in the day has... not really worked well after all, this week.
Here I am though, setting the timer for 30 minutes.
OK, I had a pretty restful day and it's late but I'm going to try for 15 minutes of composing, at least, so I don't end up with a two-day gap in my streak.
I copied over what I had, and thought some more about the structure of the text. Caught a word I left out yesterday, too.
