jtthomascan I have in various stages of the writing process at once?
Lyric stage:
--"Elevenses", not the actual title
--Superstitions
--a certain Star Trek song without a proper name as of yet
--resistance song, again unnamed as of yet
--a Grimm / Child ballads / classical mythology crossover piece that is written for the sake of sarcasm
--Poison Control
--a Civil War marching song that has a slightly too convenient name not to make a pun out of it
Melody stage:
--River Wind, provided it doesn't make me cry too much to handle it
--Elfin Knight with Scarborough Fair, using an older melody for the descant
Instrument stage:
--Trinities (to actually get good enough to sing and play it at once without laughing too hard to breathe)
--Law of the Jungle (because not once did I write down my own chords, and guess who has a horrible memory for chords?)
--A Real Steampunk Story
Other Songs I Am Learning:
--Barrett's Privateers
Other Projects:
--that Maquis & French Resistance musical I've been working on for three years and is finally getting somewhere because I found my old lyric sheets
--the ten-layer Christmas song my dad will yell at me if I don't finish
This is in addition to about six fiddle tunes I have lined up to learn so I can actually get decent with fiddle again, now that my hands can handle it. (Heh, halfway to a pun.)
...I didn't realize how many I had going.
