• Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
  
  
  
  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!

craigdav1 has agreed to be dpl.

Adding to my post queue. Interesting title.

[TriciaG]

You're set up.

FYI, If the sections aren't really chapters, you can say "section" in the intro/outro rather than "chapter."

I also shortened the file name to just "nightthoughts", but feel free to change that back if you want the longer title.

[Kohoutek]

Excellent! Thanks so much. I'm hoping to get started over the holiday break.

[Kohoutek]

Oh, it looks like I set something up wrong. The poem itself has 9 sections, plus there is an introduction, for a total of 10 sections. I misunderstood how to say that in the template. Sorry!

[craigdav1]

You can add another section by clicking on "BC Admin" beneath the MW. When the MW Dashboard opens there is s "new section" tab in the upper left.

[TriciaG]

What he said. You as soloist/BC can add sections; you just can't delete them (that's a bit of a safety issue).

[Kohoutek]

Well, cool. I'll fiddle around with it.

[TriciaG]

Moved to Going Solo.

Just wanted to check in. I've started recording and have five sections to edit. The laptop I was using, with the Audacity program on it, went wonky, so I didn't have access for a few weeks. Turns out it was just a battery problem, so I'm back up and running, and hope to start submitting the sections soon!

[Kohoutek]

Section 1 and 2 are ready for PL.

I haven't recorded the "Introduction" yet because I wanted to jump right into the poem. But now it bugs me that it isn't done, so that'll get recorded next.

Thanks!
