Another week has come and gone, this one just as fast as the past several. At least this week I can comfortably say I got some work done.
Music -- I spent a fair bit of time working on a large-ish handbell project, then started in on some violin solos with piano accompaniment -- I had sent 3 solos to Lynne Latham a while back, and while she liked them, she wanted more for the set, so I'm finally getting around to getting those written. I need to write three more, and, if all goes well, I ought to have them done by the end of January.
Writing -- While I didn't do any actual writing, I did discover how to get my current rough draft of Fealty and Fire onto my Kindle Fire, so now I can read through and make notations at my leisure. Now, to just find the time to do the work ...
Publishing -- This is sort of the calm before the storm. The newest pieces from publishers have been released, so there won't be anything new coming out for a while, but I know that one of my publishers is having a recording session for their demo CD this weekend, and others will be having theirs soon. It's also getting close to that wonderful time of year when I get some royalty checks, which makes this whole composing thing pay off financially (of course, that's not the only reason I do it, but with a baby on the way, I won't complain about a little extra income). On the whole, things have been very quiet and peaceful on this front this week.
That's it from here. There's snow and ice on the roads outside, so this seems the perfect day to just stay inside, do some composing, and take it relatively easy. Have a great week, and happy creating!
