At the double

At last, an undistracted Monday. Worked on a little more haemophilia for a couple of hours, and devoted my main energies to working on the words for the Doppelganger piece. Luckily I am making some progress. For me there's a different mindset required writing a libretto to poetry. Poetry lives primarily on the page or read aloud. While I am writing the libretto I am thinking of the physical theatre, narrative and singability. Also immediacy: I think the audience needs to understand the narrative rather than being bamboozled and confused.

Slipped off to the gym. Am having the first of a few good weeks, and am cutting down on food and boozes and ramping up the exercises. A quiet and blameless night indoors. All well.
