From A to Z
I've decided to sort all 3,768 clips in RealPlayer alphabetically and play them straight through. Originally I was going to do it in concert with Bad Company revisions, but my due date has been pushed back to June, so I'm back to working on Crow books (as you can see from the sidebar).I liked the A to Z idea so much, I didn't want to wait. I even bought new ear buds. And while my creative rhythms may be in thrall to my publishers' schedules, they can't dictate my listening habits*.
I'll start today with "#34" by the Dave Matthews Band (from Under the Table and Dreaming) and ending someday with "Zurna Tabl Naqqare" by Iraqi Tradtional Group (from the soundtrack to Three Kings).
Maybe I'll set Easter as the goal date, making this a sort of Lenten project. Sure beats giving up chocolate.
The miracle will be if I can get through all 3,768 clips with the same set of ear buds. Will I lose them? Will they be chewed by a dog or cat? Permanently borrowed by my husband? Stay tuned.
*They sort of can't. I'll have another post soon on how radically different my lifestyle becomes depending on which series I'm working on.

Also, I learned that the name "Elvis" is of Scandinavian origin. It means "All Wise."
