I've actually begun tackling my self-imposed mammoth task, compiling, sifting, and editing all lyrics that I've written so far. There are 337 of those. After having already published three collections that may not seem too effortful to do as I'd 'only' have to add sixty -six new lyrics - and that would be that. Unfortunately, though, I seem to have formatted my former collections slightly differently so I'll have to re-format the files before I will be able to sort them and go through them.
At the moment the lyrics are scattered over four MS Word documents that I'm reformatting before I can combine them and sort the lot. Then the tedious work of viewing and editing them all will begin. To my delight, I keep coming across true marvels I didn't know I'd written :-)
