If you wish to stay in the Librivox family, PLing doesn't require your voice at all, but keeps one deeply engaged. Maybe something to consider in the future that you can manage. In the meantime, I send you gentle hugs. What a cool idea, Betsy! Thank you for suggesting it... I had never even thought...

Actually... I'm so sorry to do a 180 overnight, and I'm especially disappointed to be a failed librivox reader... but I think I am going to quit now before I dig my hole any deeper.😓 .... As much as I hate to give up some of my commitments and activities, including my plans to record audiobooks, I a...

Ack! I've really dropped the ball here, haven't I?😬 Thanks so much for the nudge -- life got crazy and librivox slipped between the cracks. But I would still like to stay on the project if that's okay with everyone. I think I can start plugging away at it again soon, with the new goal of September 2...

I'm so glad, Amy! Thanks so much. I hope it's no biggie (in the librivox world) that my estimate was so off.

Amy, Just to be clear, I would like to keep actively working on this project -- I am just much, MUCH slower at finishing each chapter than I thought I would be. So if it's okay, I would just like to change the final "deadline" expectation. (When I filled out the info upon launching this pr...

Some personal issues have arisen that will make me unable to PL for the next month. I'll be back in late September. If you need to have someone else PL in my absence, or even remove my DPL status, I'll understand. Hi Betsy, thanks for letting us know. Totally fine with me to keep you as PL and just...

Chapter 2 ready for PL! (26:09) https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_02_kephart_128kb.mp3 One thing I'm a little unsure about is whether I am supposed to read the captions under the photographs included in the Gutenberg text I'm reading from. So far I've been ignoring them... ...

Fantastic. I think I've got it now. Thanks a million!

Okay I believe I have updated the Magic Window appropriately... Amy, would you be so kind as to double check whether I did it right? I was a little unclear about where to put the file duration, but when I clicked the area under the "meta" column I saw a place there to put it. So hopefully ...

Whoops! I'll do that later today. Thanks so much for reminding me!

Here is my recording of Chapter 1, finally! The time is 21:32. https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_01_kephart_128kb.mp3 Betsy -- while you are PLing for me, please note that I am a newbie at this and I gratefully welcome any and all feedback for improvement! Feel free to nitp...

Quick monthly update that I am still working on section one. Apologies for my slowness.

Just a quick check-in that I have not forgotten about this project!! I've been a bit busy and while recording the first section I realized I need to improve some things about my recording area. So I'm getting a slow start but hope to re-record and upload the first section soon.

Hi ! I'd be interested to DPL this when the uploads begin. I don't see anyone noted in the MW, so am assuming you still need someone? Betsy That's fantastic, thanks! Nope, I don't have anyone yet so I'd be thrilled with a DPL. I am still learning the ropes, as this is is my first solo project, so p...

Here is my recording of Chapter 28 (4:27) -- ready for PL, please.
