Saturday…
After spending most of yesterday trying to (a) figure out why I couldn’t record anything on my laptop and (b) trying to figure out why I couldn’t upload the audio book to mininova.org I finally succeeded – about one a.m! That’s the trouble with technology, it never does what you want when you want it! If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that the software was deliberately trying to make my life difficult!
I have been quite pleased with the audio books, and although they have not been recorded in a professional studio (if anyone has a spare 30,000 pounds I will!) It seems that people find it a lot easier to listen rather than read. I don’t know if this is just laziness, or perhaps because you can do something else whilst listening! But I guess as technology moves on, so does the way people interact with literature.
I have recorded approximately 85 topics but there are still over 120 to go which is rather a daunting task! I have had people offer to record some for me, but I think it is more authentic if I record them myself as it is my journey.
Anyway, I hope you are enjoying them, and if you don’t know where to get them you can listen for free on last.fm

Have a good weekend. I plan to record one more audiobook and then relax…….
