The Golden Rule of Writing | Write to Done

 Here's a post that I saved for a blog post - not only for my renewed writing habit, but also for my voice students. Consider this an exhortation to not let a single word or acting choice slip by you! Am renewing that commitment myself, along with a commitment to continue improving my language skills. I ran into a piece I loved performing, but I ran into a problem with one word. I was pretty sure I knew what it meant, but couldn't find it in any dictionary, and the French specialists around me couldn't help either. I finally located program notes from one of the few published CDs of the work (darn mp3s - I miss liner notes from both CDs and LPs - they were such useful tools!). Turns out those of us that made an educated guess were correct, but while I was uncertain, guess where I had a problem with the song? Yep. The phrase with that word in it. Do you homework!
