I'm working on a few things right now. As I've finally gotten my great-great-grandfather's book
published to Amazon (as noted here in a recent post), my thoughts are still largely in the literary vein.- First, it's nearly November, and November brings National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)! So, it's back to my in progress second novel, which I really plan to finish this year (as I have for the past few). [I'm also wondering about getting my first novel up on Amazon, but that's something to think about later.]
- Next, apart from that writing, I'm also getting back to the revision of my Mass setting. I really like much of it, but there are a few movements that just don't quite work yet, and I think I need to revise some of the accompaniment as well. It's for small mixed chorus, soloists, and organ.
- I'm also working on a cookbook - well, actually I'm working on two cookbooks right now:
- I'm scanning and transcribing my Grandma's handwritten recipes from the [handmade!] cookbook her brother made for her as a wedding present; and
- I'm compiling my favourite original dishes, along with stories of their creation (or other happy occurrences related to their eating).
- A tedious (but likely useful) project is upgrading our computers to Windows 7
from XP. The bad part is that it's not a direct upgrage - I have to back up the documents and reinstall all the applications. The good part is that they should all be happier and run faster (and the disks will be cleaner, too!). Microsoft seems to have done a good job with the latest version of Windows, and by offering the family pack - 3 users for less than the price of two - they're likely to get a lot of people going legal. (Not that anyone ever installed the same copy of Windows on more than one machine ....) Well done Steve and company.
