Chrissy's Endeavor, by Pansy (1841 - 1930)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/chrissys-endeavor-by-pansy/
Eighteen year old Chrissy Hollister attends a Christian Endeavor Society meeting while away for the summer, and decides to begin a chapter at home. After that, things happen, and that's what the book is about. I'll decide what else to say after I learn what happens. (Summary by TriciaG)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://books.google.com/books?id=toA2AQAAMAAJ

Target completion date: 2023-03-31

Prooflistening level: Special
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

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!

And here we go! First two chapters up.

Apparently, I shouldn't have started this so close to finishing Christie's Christmas. If you happen to hear me say Christie rather than Chrissy, please let me know! I caught one in editing. :lol:

Chapter 3 is up.

I didn't try terribly hard on the songs. If it's not very good, let me know and I'll try again. :)

I've got chapter 4 recorded, but now I have to think about supper...

Chapters 3 & 4 are PL OK :thumbs: :thumbs:

I double checked the first 2 for Christies and found none.

The songs came out well. They each fit in very will with the character who was singing them. :D

Ya knowww, I so wanted to check off 3&4 in the MW and "forget" 1&2 Just my ornery/silly side dontcha know. But then, you see which side won out. :lol: but, yes, you are good to remind me.... even if THIS TIME I didn't forget. Okayyy it's been a long, tired day. :wink: I certainly hope to retire early tonight.

Next chapter is up. I caught myself saying Christy one time. :)

That'll be it for today. My voice is still recovering from a cold last week - it gets a dry feeling so that I cough a lot when recording.

Chapter 5 PL OK :thumbs:

Ahhh the usefulness of editing. I detected nothing amiss in this final product.
Just take care of yourself. That's the important part. :D

Lol, at first I thought I'd go back to some other chapters to see what this is all about. But, upon listening further the story came back to me..... along with the thoughts of the online seek&find I was doing while I was listening. :lol:
