IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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! The first section has been uploaded. For the intro, I included the phrase "The Family" as that's how Book I is fully titled, but I'm fine with leaving it off and just saying, "Book 1, Section 1" if that's less confusing or cumbersome.

Thanks!

Happy Monday!

Section II has been uploaded.

I'm struggling a bit with the next section . . . There's a German character whose dialogue is written to indicate a heavy accent, but I'm just not hearing it in my head yet. To me, it reads like he's a cross between a Bronx gangster and a country bumpkin. But I'll get there eventually!

Thanks,
Amy

Hi!

Sections 3 and 4 are uploaded.

I just noticed I had mislabeled the first two files (author before section no.). Sorry about that!

Thanks,
Amy
