  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
  Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hi Kirsten,

I'll MC this for you. Should be a fun read! MW will be up shortly.

[KevinS]

May I DPL? (If you already have someone else in mind, don't worry about offending me.)

[TriciaG]

She had PM'd a couple of us and was waiting for a response.

I'll DPL.

That's great! Sounds like a fun mystery!

Hello everyone.

Exhibiting its frequently ironic sense of timing, the universe hit me with an eye infection the moment I posted this solo.

I am again visioned.

So thanks for PL offers - Tricia, I know you and Lynne are sticklers: promise to be on my toes. And, Knot, thanks for MC offer. Looking forward to working with you both again.

Expect chapter 1 today or tomorrow.

Hasta manana,

K. Stormy Wever. (really. Get it? )

P.S. I career changed to become an artist, a word painter (ARTWORDS.US) -- all paintings center on language. So I look for good words, like this:

A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't.

Voila, Chapter 1, 19:38

[TriciaG]

Chapter 1:

8:56 - repeat: "As if to ward off some blow... as if to ward off a blow"
The file name is a little wonky. Don't add the "mp3" to the file name; it'll show up automatically when exported.

P.S. Next time, please do mark the section as Ready for PL in that last column, in case I don't get to it right away, so it shows up in my "ready to PL" list.

[Kirsten Wever]

Thanks Tricia.

I'll remove the repeat, remember to mark" ready for PL" and leave off the mp3 tag

... we'll just leave it out of the recipe and substitute some rum.

-- So sorry, meant to say "lemonade."

[Kirsten Wever]

Tricia,

If you don't have time to laugh, you don't have time.
