[Repressed Screaming]
🕑 Added 2024-09-07 11:54:51 +0000 UTCI may have been overly optimistic about the audiobook being finished soon, as my microphone has just broken. We think.
I have ordered a new one, which should be with me on Monday, but my audio engineer and I have spent the last week going “what is wrong with the settings that everything I record sounds totally different now????!?!?!!!!1eleven?!”
On the plus side, though unrelated, all the lights in my house are now working again! I can turn on the kitchen lights at night, hooray!
$5+ patrons, I have a wedding next weekend so I will see you for a livestream on the 21st September. I hope the mic will be working by then and that I will have good audiobook news.
In the meantime, please join me in spirit for a chorus of repressed screaming at technology, if you feel so inclined. Or pray for me. Or both.
Still, when the audio issues are all sorted and I am shouting about Quickbooks and taxes in a couple of months, at least I will be able to think to myself: yes, but at least it’s not AUDIOBOOK PRODUCTION, so it could be worse.
Hope you’re all well. I am working on Pride and Prejudice/Caroline Bingley, but basically my entire working week has been sucked up by technological troubleshooting, so basically nothing useful has actually been accomplished.

Wondering what variety of cheese pairs well for dealing with technical difficulties and repressed screaming 🤔🧀 Hope the new mic works well 💖 Many prayers your way 🙏

I offer my sympathy. I, too, have been having “fun” with technology. My video editing software is amazing—until the audio starts cutting in and out. Argh! Sooo frustrating! I hope your tech issues sort out quickly.
