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).

Hi Philip,
Would you like to submit a short story or poem in one of the short works to get a feel for it before embarking on this solo?
I will MC this for you. But it is a good idea to narrate something small to see if you like it before you take on a whole book.
Let me know what you think,
Cheers!

I can do that as well if you think I should, but I feel pretty comfortable going ahead with it. It's not a very long book, at any rate. Thanks for helping :)

Okay, I'll get this set up and leave you on the launchpad for the proof listeners to take a look. You can begin recording at any time.
I'll send you a PM with the info on how to access and use the magic window. How do you want your name to appear in the catalog?
Have a good night!

Sorry about that! I'm still planning on finishing, no worries. Gardening season caught me a little off guard but I should have free time again before too long.

I will be focusing on gardening since Spring is finally here, too. If you just say something in your thread every month, it lets us know that you plan on working on it and haven't forgotten.
Happy Growing Season!! :D
