k_puffI performed at the Oregon NATS competition today, which is a competition that's kind of a big deal. It's the National Association of Teachers of Singing, or something along those lines, and voice teachers all over Oregon invite their students to sing at it. It's a big honor to win, and the "award" is that you get to sing at their Benefit Concert that evening. Well, I threw a couple of songs together and went to perform today, thinking that it was no big deal and I'd be back to write more of my NaNovel this evening (I'm trying to get to 23,000 by Monday).
But apparently, I did a really fantastic job and my Mom thinks there's a really good chance that I'll win, and they'll invite me to sing tonight. I'm supposed to call this woman at sometime after 4:30 to see if I need to come back.
And Mom's been raving about my performance all afternoon, and suddenly I'm all nervous! Too nervous to write! How can that be? I was planning on pounding out 1 or 2 thousand words this afternoon, and my stomach's been so jumpy I've written maybe 700. So I've wasted an evening, and I probably won't make it anyways. Thanks a lot, Mom. I can't wait until it's time for me to call so I can stop worrying and get on with my evening.
*sigh*
EDIT: Didn't make it, but all is good. My friend James (who also competed) got Honorable Mention, and I wrote over 3,800 words tonight. ~^____^~ yayy...plus, while those Rockstar drinks work REALLY, REALLY well, they also give me a stomachache if I drink faster than one sip every ten minutes. @_@
