Hey Dave,

I need your input on something. Read the following sentence, and let me know if you think "wind" should be pronounced with a long "e" (as in winding a clock) or a short "e" (such as Chicago being the windy city).

Then it was a case of starving the guns, because the
shortage of ammunition would only allow each gun of each battalion four
rounds a day and as the soldiers call it out there, they had our "wind
up" all the time.

My vote is for

Got it. I recorded the sentence twice. I don't even know what that figure of speech means.

they had our "wind up" all the time.

To me it would mean we were anxious all the time. Similar to being "wound up."

Then that would be with a long "i". I screwed up and said long "e". I'll go with a long "i".

I've been recording at 5:00 AM now that there is construction happening all day long next door. The only drawback is that my brain isn't good for much more than narration. Sometimes I barely remember the chapter when I go back and edit it 12 hours later.

I retired to stop getting up at 5AM!
