Writer's Block. Agh.
Mar. 19th, 2004 02:11 pmI'm supposed to be doing a press release today.
Trouble is, I haven't the faintest clue on beginning it. It's about a concert, an all Tchaikovsky evening, featuring one of our leading dance companies and THE premiere orchestra in my neck of the woods (old instruments notwithstanding).
I'm stuck. Damn it. I've done stuff like this ten thousand times but right now...everything I start coming up with sounds like dreck and I can do better than that.
So I'm writing here, hoping to get the lead out of that block...
In the meantime, I must research more on the Fifth Symphony and on Tchaikovsky in general. Yes, I know the poor man was gay, repressed and depressed. Maybe I have something to start off from there....
*wanders off to Google*

I wish I could go see it! I bet it'll be fabulous! I actually have been on a classical music kick lately so this post just thrills me!
Will have to get cds from car when I'm at lunch! SQUEEEE
