Obstacles

So....I have my closet space/booth set up and it actually is working pretty good! I think it will be just the ticket until my "upgraded" booth is built.

First Audiobook Completed!

I am feeling quite pleased tonight!  I finished my first audiobook! Hindsight is twenty twenty and I should have been writing about my progress as I went along. I hereby make the resolution to do so with my next one. Overall and to the point, I learned alot and believe that my skills have improved.  I learned that sometimes I underestimate myself.  I proved to myself that I can narrate and narrate well.  Not only that but I can produce said audiobook as well! I will post my progress more diligently so that I can better share my experience and hopefully gain more insight from others as well.
