Saturday Summary, March 12, 2011

Every Saturday, The Creative will feature a brief post about my current creative efforts and how they are progressing. If this doesn't interest you, read no further -- not only will I not be offended, I'll never know. The usual creativity-centric posts will return on Sunday.

Well, it's been an interesting week, and nearly none of it had to do with creativity.  On Monday, while driving in to teach at school, another car pulled out in front of me and I hit it hard enough to activate my air bag.  I'm okay, the other driver is okay, my beloved Honda Civic ... not so much.  The good news is everyone walked away; the bad news is this one 2.3 second incident derailed pretty much my whole week.

The good news is -- tickets are now on sale for the Raleigh Ringers concert in Indianapolis on June 20.  We've already sold a couple, but we've still got a long way to go to pack the house for this amazing event.  Check out details at rrindy.com.

Now, on to business:

Music --I composed nothing this week.  (See, I told you the crash threw me off.)

Writing -- Nope, nothing here, either.  (See???)

Publishing -- I've got a couple of proofs and contracts still sitting here that I need to go over and return, so I'm trying to wade through those.  I have one piece from SoundForth that I've made a few changes to that I need to send back to them so they can incorporate them into the proof and send me a new version before I actually edit the thing.  All this I'm trying to get done before our upcoming vacation.  Busy, busy, busy.


Sadly, that's it for the week.  The good news is, the Math Bowl team I was coaching at the elementary school is done for the season, so I now get back a couple extra mornings every week, which ought to give me time to get my creative life back on track.  Things won't really return to a state of normalcy until April, but I can wait that long.  Until then, I'll just keep plugging along and doing what I can do, and get my train back on track when I'm able.

Have a great week, everyone.
