1,000 Days of Piano and 30 Days of Noveling - Day 136 and Day 1

It’s Day 1 of National Novel Writing Month and Day 136 of my piano blog. I started my novel, which is important, even if I didn’t reach my word goal. I practiced some pieces, even if I didn’t put in enough work to record anything more on the Mozart Sonata. Most importantly, I practiced unrestrained joy and excitement about all of it. I let myself enjoy the glorious autumn day, the tang and promise of a Friday before a long weekend, even though I didn’t start my day in a fury of creativity. This is one of those days when it just feels good to be in the game.
