Ladies Don't Write Music - 15th November 2023 - update

I'm on track for NaNoWriMo because I hit 25,000 words for the month today! I'm so pleased. Attempting NaNoWriMo at all this year was a huge gamble because I haven't written over 25,000 words since February 2023, and even then I only managed just over 37k... but I've written 25k in the last two weeks and a day!

I also finished writing Chapter Twelve today, and brought it in at 5,000 words exactly. That's both immensely satisfying, and a point of pride; it's the fastest I've finished a chapter on this manuscript since I started drafting it at the end of July. The full manuscript is now just over 60,000 words long, and I want to do some more writing before I go to bed.

Below the cut: a celebratory excerpt, my NaNoWriMo 25k badge, and the cover I designed at the start of November, because I'm proud of that, too.

I clapped the right tempo, and counted Fräulein Schneider in.

She began, halting here and there, but, in general, playing very well.

“I’m not sure if you need a teacher,” I said, as she came to the end of the first page, “You sight-read just fine, and your sense of rhythm is strong.”

Fräulein Schneider beamed at me. “Thank you!” she said, “But it’s… it’s the pitch that I struggle with. Did I really…” She looked down at her hands. “Did I really play that correctly? I keep thinking I was pressing the wrong keys, but I don’t like to look at my hands when I’m sight-reading, or I lose my place in the music.”

I shook my head. “There was nothing wrong with the notes you played,” I said, “Considering it was your first time with the piece, actually, it was excellent.”

Louisa raised her eyebrows, and looked from me to the sheet music, and then back again. “That’s… That’s a surprise,” she said, “I’ve always thought I was, well… quite bad at the harpsichord. I practise, but the music never makes any more sense than it does when I start learning a piece. My last two teachers gave up on me, but I keep playing anyway because Papa and Mama said it would be a good way to entertain my husband one day.”

“Doesn’t it sound good to you, at least?” I asked, “I mean, do you like the way it sounds, even if it’s a little confusing?”

She smiled. “Yes, very much… but I worry that it doesn’t sound so good to other people. Full of wrong notes… Who would enjoy hearing a piece they recognise mangled out of shape?”

I tapped the page she had just played. “You certainly didn’t mangle this,” I said.

“Oh,” she said, covering her face with her hands, “That’s a relief!” Then her eyes widened as she dropped her hands to her lap. “Goodness me, how embarrassing it would have been if I’d played it badly in front of its composer.”

“Badly, not at all,” I assured her, sitting down next to her at the bench, “A little slowly, perhaps, but…” I played the first few bars as they should have been played. “That’s what it’s meant to sound like. And what you played was close enough. Honestly, Louisa, if you practise for even half an hour every day, I think you’ll have the first page fluent in less than a week. Your hands will learn it, even if your ears don’t.”

I decided a while ago that Johann Schneider's character would be tone-deaf, and would enjoy watching music performed for the movement. He has a younger sister and I thought it would be interesting to explore her having the same difficulties. Johann isn't a musician (yet), but Louisa plays the harpsichord and has a lot of trouble feeling confident in what she's playing because she's never sure she's got the right pitch. Luckily, her proprioception is excellent (as is Johann's, which is why he can dance so well), so she can put her fingers on the right keys without needing to see them. This is what Katharina's trying to help her see here, in this ad-hoc music lesson; she doesn't need to hear what she's playing to be able to play it well.

I'm quite enjoying playing around with parallels between Johann & Louisa Schneider and Katharina & Hans Schmidt. In both pairs of siblings, you have the older, more serious one having trouble meeting people's expectations, in contrast with the younger, more humourous one having very little trouble at all. The pairs also mirror each other in their strengths and weaknesses: Katharina and Hans have audiovisual projective synaesthesia and perfect pitch, so can hear and see the music they're making; Johann and Louisa are literally tone-deaf (Johann completely, Louisa almost completely) and music for them is a much more visual thing than it is for most people. Then there's Katharina, whose coordination is so bad it causes problems, being the opposite of Johann, whose coordination makes him an excellent dancer who then has problems because he finds constant poorly-veiled requests to dance at parties very tiring.

"I’ve been a part of so many other great records, but Euphoria Mourning is as close to a masterpiece as possible. It’s on another level. Not just because of the music itself but also because of the human connection. When I listen to it, not only does it take me back to a powerful, painful and nostalgic feeling, but it also hits me in such a loving way. I remember both Chris and Natasha as the two most important people in my life. They come back alive in those moments – they are almost eternally there. The bonding memory of the Euphoria Mourning experience is something I strive to reach again in whatever situation I am in. Specifically, it was this egoless focus that we had. We were powerful and creative people, but the purpose was to serve the music. Sometimes that meant pushing for something and sometimes it meant giving in to something. There was never an argument about it, we always just agreed. When you feel a connection like that, it always stays with you." – Alain Johannes (x)

Valentine's Writing Tag (in... June?)

For reasons I still do not entirely understand, I have decided to stay up until almost 6 in the morning answering something from almost four months ago. Because that is a very good and normal use of time. Luckily I don't have anything else to do today, or I'd be screwed at this rate....

I was tagged by @sleepy-night-child for this! I would tag other people, but I don't know who the heck I'm going to tag for this normally, much less almost four months after the fact. If anyone else is similarly bored though, I won't rat you out for saying I tagged you.

Anyway, here are some romantic details for the story Verräter!

1. Which of your characters have some romantic chemistry?

Look, I wouldn’t recognize romantic chemistry if it fell out of the sky and fractured my skull on its way down. But based on my essentially non-existent understanding of this sort of thing…

Helmina and Theodor

Ernst and Lina

Sophie and Hans (???)

2. Which of your characters do you think readers will ship?

Ahh… well. There’s always going to be ships. But romance is still not really my thing, so I’ll take some wild guesses. Since almost all of my characters are already in established relationships (and I’m only getting around to answering this during pride month), I guess I’ll assume we’re mostly doing non-official LGBTQ+ ships now.

Otto and Johannes

Otto and Ernst

Otto and Paul

Theodor and Hans

Ernst and Hans (gotta get that enemies-to-lovers dynamic in somewhere)

Löhlein and Hans

Johannes and Hans

Johannes and Dr. Drittich

And, knowing shippers, literally every other permutation, some of which will probably involve Jaeger somehow. Regrettably. (But seriously, please don’t ship the dachshund….)

3. Which of your characters are slated to be an endgame relationship?

Ernst and Lina, for now. Most of the others are paired off already, and I’m not enough of a romantic to bother with the minor characters’ love lives.

4. Are there any established relationships in your WIPs? If so, how did they meet?

Yep, there are several!

1. Johannes and Magdalena

Johannes finally managed to seize political control of Großsachsen, but the rest of his Party (let’s be honest, it was like 95% Otto) thought he needed a wife to be ‘relatable’ and to have someone to consult for matters requiring a ‘feminine touch’. Magdalena was suggested for being a well-bred woman with the correct political views, and a meeting was arranged at a local coffeehouse.

2. Otto and Josephine

Otto hosts a lot of parties. Like, a lot. Theodor used to attend them, and eventually started bringing his then-girlfriend sometimes. Eventually Otto decided to inquire about this new woman, and then they at least knew the other existed.

3. Theodor and Helmina

Theodor got completely drunk off his ass one fine night. So drunk, in fact, that he ended up knocking on the door to the townhouse his grandmother used to live in and essentially shoving his way in, ignoring that Helmina was quite clearly not his grandmother. And then he proceeded to blather about how terrible his love life was going for the next two hours or so.

Eventually, out of desperation to get the random sobbing drunk out of her home, Helmina “agreed” to go on a date with him on the condition that he went and sobered up somewhere else. For better or worse, Theodor was still just sober enough to scrawl it out in his diary, so Helmina ended up going on that date.

4. Hans and Sophie

Hans went to a bakery intending to purchase some bread. But then he saw pretty girl and, being a testosterone-fueled 20-something, naturally decided he rather liked pretty girl. After several minutes of flirting, he finally bothered asking her name. She… was not initially terribly impressed with him, obviously, and wanted his name to try to ignore him. Unfortunately, Hans is a very, very common Großsächsisch name, so that didn’t help much.

5. What’s your dream love confession scene between your characters?

Not sure how applicable this is for me, but I came up with a scene that I may or may not be semi-planning on using, possibly.

A and B have been lightly dating for some time. Neither side has quite gotten to saying the magic words, but things seem to be going fairly well anyway. A has every intention of saying it, but they just haven’t quite worked up the nerve to spit it out yet. Perhaps there are some moderately elaborate plans, or lots of practicing in the mirror, but anyway A just can’t quite say it yet.

However, B thinks A doesn’t actually like them. Maybe just not romantically, maybe not at all, but at any rate B thinks that A just doesn’t have the heart to break things off and is hoping the relationship will just sort of whither up and die on its own. After thinking a few hours longer, B goes to A and decides to end things, admonishing A for being too cowardly to just tell them if it wasn’t working.

Cue A panicking and finally managing to spit it out. Profusely. While very much trying not to cry, and only almost succeeding, because... what does B mean, B doesn’t think they love them?!

[save-the-villainous-cat]

hi i have a little 18th century german boy oc and u r the only german person ik . i want to strike a deal . if u suggest German names i will give u cat pictures

A lil 18th century German oc? Oh boy oh boy those dudes had terrible names like Gerhard, Eberhard, Reinhard…lots of hard huh…

But here are a few German names (also a bit Nordic, cuz I’m a bitch living in the north and c’mon Hanse <33) which I believe to be rather timeless and free of the grandpa stamp:

-Hans

-Erik (also Eric)

-Anton

-Till

-Emil

-Mats

-Fiete

-Lars / Lasse

-Konrad (also Conrad)

-Fred

-Moritz

-Jannik (also Jannick, Yannic, Yannik, Yannick…)

-Gustaf (also Gustav)

-Arne

-Phillip (also Fillip)

-Finn

-Jakob

-Jan

-Nils

-Julius

(Not me searching through my followers on insta to look up my classmate’s names…👹)

Those would be a few that come to mind when I think of timeless names that guys had in the 18th century and today. When we think about 18th century people specifically, I just think of writers and artists of that time, like:

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (<3) and his boyfriend

Friedrich Schiller,

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing,

Joseph von Eichendorff (<3),

Caspar David Friedrich (<3),

Heinrich Reinhold…etc. etc…

As most last names, Germany’s last names are an indicator for the occupation someone had (unless there’s a von, that means they’re nObLe), here are some examples:

-Schmidt

-Weber (hehe)

-Bauer

-Müller / Möller

-Koch

-Schneider

-Fischer

-Meier/Meyer

-Wagner

-Becker

-Hoffmann

-Schäfer

-Wolf

-Neumann

-Zimmermann

-Krüger

-Köhler

Etc. etc….

My Color Oracle

Sharing personal color oracles about me because why not.

Intro:

[ID]:

Introduction

You have selected the colors that you currently find most pleasing and most unpleasing. Read the interpretive texts for your selections in the following paragraphs. In the case of some colors, you will find an additional question or suggestion which can help you deal with a subject area in more depth.

This might interest you too:

Astrology for Lovers

I am He is / She is Keep in mind that your unconscious plays a major role in the selection of the colors. As it is the case when laying tarot cards, it is inadvisable to repeat the color test too often because otherwise, the quality of the interpretation quickly fades. Take in the texts, and let them work on you, even those you may find somewhat uncomfortable or provocative.

The Color Oracle is a psychological color test developed by the Swiss art instructor, therapist and astrologer Johannes Schneider. Astrodienst also has on offer his "Color Horoscope"- the delineation of the birth chart in combination with psychological color interpretation.

Ladies Don't Write Music - 13th November 2023 - update

I've just had a look at the average writing speed NaNoWriMo has calculated for me in November (not the same as my typing speed!), relative to the amount of words I've written so far, and I'm shocked to see what that means for the amount of time I've spent working on the book in November.

I've actually timed every session so far this month, which is something I've never thought to do before. I just love how easy NaNoWriMo makes it to time your sessions. It's just over an hour per day (21,685 words at 26 per minute). I've spent just under 14 hours hours writing in November, and we aren't quite halfway through yet.

I can't tell you how pleased I am with that rate. It's also very reassuring to know that if I put my mind to it, I can do a lot with just 30 minutes of writing per day (that would get me 780 words, but with time for stretching and thinking, I'd be happy with 500).

I got 1,1717 words down before I went to sleep on Sunday night, finished Chapter 11, and started Chapter 12. I really hurried to get the words on the page, because my eyes were closing, but I'm so pleased to find it's mostly coherent. I'm not fussed about proofreading when I'm writing the first and second drafts; it just needs to be legible and sensible (but it's also allowed to be silly), so I know what I've written.

On Saturday I had two short train rides between my nearest town and the next one, a lovely bike ride, and a midday meetup with my friends after a physiotherapy appointment. I also got my bike repaired and bought a new helmet, because my previous one was too old to be safe. Did you know it's good practice to replace your cycling helmet every five years? I didn't until recently (I found out from the bike technician at the auto repair shop). I wrote 300 words on the train, and another 200 before bed, but was quite worn out after all that, so that's all I wrote that day.

Today is Monday, and I've written 1787 words. Tomorrow, I want to write to the end of Chapter 12 if I can. In the meantime, I'm rather sleepy, so here's a celebratory excerpt!

I had always found it difficult to commit a new piece to memory; the urge to add a section or change a note never really went away. If I didn’t keep an eye on myself, I could easily play the same piece a dozen different ways. Creating something new was just as fun as showing off something that already existed, and that was what made it so hard to write a piece of music and consider it finished.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Johann swaying softly in time with the music, as if he were dancing in his own head, rather than mine, for a change.

As I came to the end of the sarabande, I made the last note into a trill, and emphasised the rallentando, to finish the piece as smoothly as I could.

Johann and Louisa clapped.

“Brava!” Johann said, “What do you call that?”

“Well, it’s a sarabande, obviously,” I said, my voice trembling, “It doesn’t have a name yet. I only wrote it very recently. and I wrote it for someone.”

Julie Christmas - Not Enough (2023)

“I started to sing Not Enough while riding in a car on the highway in Brooklyn and seeing all these water towers along the tops of the buildings. Some of them are so beautiful! But I like the dented ones just as much. The sun was blazing hot that day and throwing crazy shadows under the towers. In my head, for a minute, It struck me that the towers were very, very brave. They were there ready to do what they were intended to do against incredible heat. And more importantly, they were there all the time. If they can do it, I can do it too.

This song is now out and is released under my name but it was first written by Andrew Schneider and turned into what it is now by these incredible people: Johannes Persson, John LaMacchia, Chris Enriquez, Laura Pleasants and Tom Tierney. Men among men!” - Julie

Fair enough. It wouldn't be too far off from Great Gatsby aesthetics, really. Not sure how unproblematic he can really be considered, given his job, but he is one of the less ideologically-insane of the characters and everything's relative, so I'll go with it.

Ernst Schneider

I really can't argue with this one much. He does deserve better than what he got. Plenty of bitterness opportunities to be had with him. Very much an expected result this time.

Theodor Gradl

I mean, he could definitely have something of an aesthetic. The Staatspolizei as a whole definitely would count for aesthetics. That much I won't argue. But unproblematic?

Theodor Gradl, the Chief of the Staatspolizei... unproblematic?

Hahahaha... Nope.

Hans Pfitzner

And... now people want it with the man whom every other character despises, including his own wife? But on the other hand, I suppose he is somewhat conventionally attractive, especially if you ignore the whole 'tortures people horribly for a living and has no functional moral compass' bit... and he doesn't give you any wolf-smiles... and he's not on drugs that day. Still better than people wanting Johannes!

Also, would you look at that. The results are palindromic. Strange.

Anyway, I suppose I should tag some people, so here goes: @sleepy-night-child, @sleepyowlwrites, @drippingmoon, @whither-wander-whump (by the way, I'm still ever-so-mildly salty about that "quiz" on April Fool's—you got me good!), and @cactusprincewrites. No pressure, just throwing out some tags! And, as always, open tag for anyone who is in need of a quiz to do.

Spicy Water

A Dragon Raja fan fiction by N.S.K.

Episode 51: A Complication

NoNo: the situation is more complicated than you think

Mai: complicated?! I'll tell you about "complicated"! We still don't know how unstable Chime actually is these days. You know that Ruri comes out the easiest whenever Chime is under some kind of emotional distress.

Caesar: seeing us might anger Ruri even more. Calmati. We have our best guys on it...

Mai: you mean Luminous and Finger?

Caesar: Finger received word that Nadi was spotted in Chizuru. I was just about to send Luminous to check it out

Luminous: you were?

Caesar: and then he'll trace her from there and call us when he finds her

Luminous: I will?

Mai: I'll shadow him then. Prepare yourself. We are leaving in 5 minutes.

Luminous: we are? ...Aww man

[Finger is in a room by himself and a computer. He managed to sneak off when Mai arrived at the house. Using a computer, he makes a video call to Professor Von Schneider who is on the balcony of the library]

Finger: heyyy, professor Von Schneider

Professor Schneider: [labored breathing]

Finger: so...how's it going?

Professor Schneider: [labored breathing] ...what do you want, Finger?

Finger: I saw evidence that Johann might be back in town. I just thought you'd be interested since you are his mentor

Professor Schneider: keep me updated

Finger: yes sir!

Johannes Vermeer -- The Geographer (1668/1669)

(details)

Having a fleeting, superficial look at this piece, it looked like Doom Schneider when he has shoulder-long, curly hair.
