Juggling
After being on the road for a few weeks, I find myself woefully behind on my composition projects. Oh, I had such fancy plans when May started. So far, I've completed two things. Suddenly I realized that there are some July 15 deadlines on the horizon. The horizon, unfortunately, is Tuesday.
So what do I do? Should I
#1: try to eke out the contest projects in short order?
#2: forget the contest deadlines and work on pieces that others are waiting for (no deadline, though)?
#3: scrap both of these and write something totally different, based on an idea I got last week?
If you have a suggestion, please make it soon. Tuesday isn't far off...
