One of my February goals was to get Abbie's book halfway recorded. Well, that I achieved, and rather easily too (the recording's the good part). I believe I wanted to have the editing one-quarter done, and that has proved more difficult (the audio seems to be going out on my laptop, which is three steps beyond vexing). Still, I can get there.
I keep catching mistakes, though, like misreading lines that I only catch in the edit, or a couple lines where I did the wrong voice for a character. And if you're from the UK, it's got to suck to hear me pronounce the letter A in an American way when I'm doing an English accent . . . because it sucks for me to hear it.* And then, of course, there are the mouth sounds. Ohhhh, the mouth sounds.
I've been listening to the audiobook for Stephen King's "Fairy Tale," and I discovered something surprising: there are mouth sounds audible throughout the narration. If that exists, in a major, mainstream release, maybe I'm sweating too much small stuff.
I've also been doing chapters of my book "Not the Same," here and there. Sometimes I have to take a break from work and do something else. I probably ought to get another Podcast That Dares done, but I thought I had two in the can, all ready to go, but when I went to my files yesterday, I couldn't find either one. I don't have cover art for them either, so it could be the start of Early Onset Dementia.
