(Sorry for the tons of typos. I was typing standing up and moving back and forth between doing this. Normally not that bad!)
Empty registry bay.
The pin that was holding the keys in place. I was expecting a struggle to get it out, but a few gentle taps of a hammer made it come loose.
Post cleaning. Gleaming like it should again.
At least we can all be rest assured that these keys won’t be going on auction for arts and crafts.
This is an example of how the keys used to look before cleaning.
Post cleaning. Big difference, eh?
All done. Now /that/ is how they should look and not grimy n’ dirty!

Nice to know there’s somebody else out there in the world doing the house-husband thang while trying to write. Although, my creative writing (screenplays) has taken a backseat to my studies and my job-hunting for the time being. I’ll get back to it one day. Hopefully soon. Best of luck with the cycling, weight loss, and housework. And the Skyriter!

Screenplays, aye? That’s pretty neat stuff. Tried my paw at being a playwright (film scripts aren’t too friendly with me) and actually finished one. Was a long time ago, though. (High school!)
You should try to put some time aside to storyboard stuff. Don’t write. Just storyboard. Carry around a notebook so you have easy access to jot things down, if you don’t already. I prefer lined and grid lined — and honestly, gridded over lined because I can make neat and tidy “note” boxes for plot ideas or character notes to make the story more synchronous.
I hope your studies are/will go well. That stuff ain’t easy! Thanks and best of luck to you too! 😀

Oh, I carry pen and paper wherever I go. As for storyboards, I don’t tend to do them too often. I can get a little side-tracked if I spend too long worrying about how a scene should look. A packet of 3×5 index cards comes in very handy at times, though. That plus a pinboard and I can generally plot out each Act.

If you haven’t heard of it already, may I suggest Scrivener? It is a digital version of a storyboard. 😀 Extremely nice program. Does a lot. Their demo is a legit demo too, not some reduced function BS that other makers have. I think it’s 30 days still as well. 🙂

Yeah, I know about Scrivener, but I thought it was primarily for fiction and novel writing. I have two screenwriting software apps loaded on my laptop, so I certainly have enough to use. When I get around to actually using them, that is.

Scrivener can be used for almost anything because of its flexibility. I’ve tried other programs, but none of them fit Scrivener’s capability — at least in my opinion. A lot of them seem to have some features that work in sync with how I work, but Scrivener matched up seamlessly into my workflow.
Hopefully you’ll be able to set some time aside to do some writing! 😀
