Hi Sarah

I love EWW's poetry but didn't know she also wrote essays. Sounds like a good project for a solo...I'll MC this and will be back with the MW soon...

ok MW is ready to be filled out. We'll wait a bit here to attract a DPL for the project.

Just a question: where did you get the summary from ? I don't see it anywhere in the Gutenberg version

We just need to make sure, if you quote something exactly, that it's also in the public domain. For that reason it's often best to write your own summary. But if the source is PD as well, then we can take it as exact quote.

Thank you!!

I've come across this book when I was recording Nuggets of the New Thought. And that's where I got the summary from. I just don't like to leave the summary blank. I can change it if you like.

ah ok, I see, no it's fine as it is then. Maybe you could add the title of the book where the summary is from, then we're in the clear. "Summary by The Psychic Research Company, in "Nuggets of the New Thought", or something similar.

But it's fine. No need to write anything else.

Okay, I've updated the source. I'll fill out the MW later today.

Sara (is that what you wish to be addressed by?), my name is Jim Locke (my handle is neecheelok70) and I wish to be your DPL for this project. As the DPL, Sonia will give me access to the MW, so I will be manipulating the final section indicating need for corrections or full acceptance with the PL OK. If you need to make corrections, I will indicate what they are in a post. Feel free to ask any questions you have. Jim

Hey, Jim.

Yes, you can call me Sara (it's my real name). Thank you so much. I'm so happy to work with you again (this time our roles are changed). I don't know if you remember but I was your DPLer for "Prince or Chauffeur? A Story of Newport".

Please feel free to point out anything you find in the recording. As I like to improve my recording with each project that I do.

Indeed! I remember it well, though I didn't make the connection. Yes, nice to be working with you again. Jim

Post by **Kitty** » June 2nd, 2021, 11:15 pm

great, so the team is complete and we can move to Going Solo. Thank you, Jim, for volunteering for this project

Happy to help! Jim

Hey, Jim.

Sections 0 to 3 are ready for PL.

Thanks!

The plan, for now, is to upload on Tuesday and Friday.

neecheelok70 · Post by **neecheelok70** » June 6th, 2021, 9:44 am

I am happy that you are on your way. I will try to get to this tonight or first thing tomorrow. Jim

Sara, these are read very clearly and meaningfully. And I enjoyed listening to your pleasant voice. The first three are without mistakes. However, just for future reference, you should pronounce the word growth with a long o as in Oh my! As for Section 3, I have noted a few things that need attention. At 32.0 you say country, instead of county. I almost didn't bother with this because county suggests country, but because there were other errors, I thought I would get you to change this. At 38.0, you say runt, but it should be rut. At 52.0, you say harpened, two syllables, but the word is harped, one syllable. Finally, at 3:52, please eliminate the background noise of a car in traffic, I think. Some of these might be considered harmless slips, but part of the problem is the listener would realize the correct way to say it. But good job.

And keep them coming. Jim

Thank you so much, Jim! You are an AMAZING DPLer. I can fix "growth" if you want. I don't mind. It is in section 2 (The Sowing of the Seed), right?

I'll fix the errors tomorrow when I upload some sections tomorrow evening (my time zone).
