I began by sorting stacks of paper and then throwing out everything that was a duplicate of something else, so that I can hone it all down to the least amount necessary.<BR/><BR/>Then, I started writing out a score and finished it. I've also been singing and playing here in the apartment by myself. I'm sure the neighbors hate me.
