The year so far is a lot like a whirling dervish, with speed, nonlinear travel, and chaos. Is that what's supposed to happen in the golden year of the tiger?

I have been writing songs with my songwriting partner. Some are pretty good and some are pretty awful. I believe the more I write, the better they will be. I ended up upgrading my ancient notation software to Sibelius First. It's an impressive program so far, but I will probably end up needing full Sibelius before it's said and done. Mostly because Walt Aldridge turned me on to DADGAD tuning and my compositions haven't been the same since because I love writing in that open tuning and I want to be able at some point to use a hex pickup to directly write into Sibelius. Sibelius First can't handle anything other than standard guitar tuning. :(

That said, I haven't forgotten about the three woman script (who am I kidding? As if those characters would let me!) and I've been sneaking little bits of it in here and there. It's just that the things with deadlines turn into the squeakier wheels. As long as I'm moving it forward, I consider all of it progress.
