Your Writing Strength is Wordsmanship

You are a master when it comes to words. Everything you write ends up very lyrical but readable. You tend to think in phrases, and it's important for you to jot them down as soon as they come. You can fill in the rest later. You're the type of writer who can struggle for hours to find the exact right word. And your readers appreciate how well you hone your craft. For you, how you write is as important as what you write about. You may still be very concise, but every word is carefully chosen.

Weather here is killing me. Either it is extremely hot (which happens every two weeks, for two days), or it´s cold and pouring down (standard weather this summer). These days the God of Weather has cooked up something new: It´s pouring down while temperatures are still over the 20ies. Huzzah! We all haven´t slept well for three nights in a row. The nightshirts, the hair, everything is glued to the body because of the atmospheric humidity. Today I got sick during night which was annoying because I had been gifted tickets for The Knight of the Rose, but decided to not let those go to waste, because a dear friend of mine would join me. Oh dear, stuck in our famous festival theatre, for almost five hours, the old-fashioned air conditioning system giving its best, and yet about 2000 spectators sat, bathed in sweat, listening to Richard Strauss. Not my favourite composer, though the basic idea of this opera is a cute one: aging aristocrat sets her (very) young lover free of her own accord (today she´d end up in prison for seduction of minors), to clear the way for him to marry his true love. A comic opera with reference to the passing of time, growing old and the fickleness of men –very touching, and worth the vexations.
