Thanks for reminding me! For some reason I can no longer mark the MW on my phone or tablet but only on my laptop. And I forgetSteven Seitel wrote: ↑July 5th, 2021, 1:04 pmThank you, Susanne. I hope you're enjoying the adventures; I sure am.
I think you, as DPL, get to mark PL OK in the Magic Window. I understand LV frowns on a Reader marking his own efforts as "OK." Can't understand why.

Steve,
could you please add a closing for section 7?
Otherwise PL of section 7 is fine.

PL of Section 8 is okay.

That's the way of most exploratory attempts, I think. We tend to remember the successful ones. It's refreshing to read of those who tried hard but failed. Here's two more that didn't quite meet their goals:Sunrise2020 wrote: ↑July 10th, 2021, 5:28 am How agonizing it must have been to be so close... and yet unable...

PL of sections 9 and 10 are fine.
I don't know about you but for me this felt like a quick read/listen.

Pending corrections from Susanne, the narration is complete, and I place it your capable hands, Dave. Thanks for keeping me straight on file names, etc. Most helpful.
Susanne...you are a diligent and prompt Proof Listener, and you make the book stronger. Thank you.
Thanks to the team!
