I started recording my novel to put up online as an audibook back in June 2008 (ha, I just made a typo and typed in 2088. You know it feels like it's been that long) and I have one episode left to go. It's September 2008 now and I've just one episode left to record, edit and then convert to a mp3 and add the ID3 tags (and image). My wife is helping me out by reading the novel one last time to offer her proofreading help. It's funny how many times I've read the novel over the years and each time I read it I find more mistakes. But I guess that's to be expect. I originally wrote the novel back in the mid '80s and then rewrote it around 2000. Now it's 2008 and I'm nearly finished in turning it into an audiobook and then I'll create a book on Lulu.com. I just haven't had enough time. But still the work goes on. I keep at it. Now it's dinner time. Time to rest. It's been a long day. I started recording episode 14 at 5:15am and about 4 pages until I finished Audacity crashed on me. I lost everything. I pulled up the temp files and found the 748 files that were 10 seconds long and realized that it would take me longer to put them all back together again than it would for me to read the chapter over again. I read it a second time and just finished editing it. Episode 14 is complete. One to go.
I'm tired. It's been a long day. I need rest. Peace.
