Well, my first chapters at librivox are now both uploaded. While I feel I'd like to re-record Chapter23 at least (if not 22 here also)...I have already had this Chapter submitted for testing considered "complete" with only some technical glitches to be ironed out. Here's a link to the sound file...or so I hope will upload now here!
anddddd ... a month later am still hopin'. The link can be read through my facebook account. Pretty much everyone in my "little corner of the world" that I care to know (sad to say) are in that Facebook page or its vincinity (Though there are ten or twenty people I can name who cannot be found through FB alone, if you are out there, you must know I want to find you, may you maybe find me? I am not terribly hard to find, you shall see ;)
ReplyDeleteActually I've met "some" interesting new people at "goodreads" online (an interesting literary social-networking/library cum "literary sales" and contests/groups site). It's sorta cool... tho people there come in all types and stripes, and from beginner to newbie in writing to advanced and mainly--in between.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I feel that is just about my speed.
I seem to have lost quite a bit of my own impetus...or am I being too hard on myself? I have only written ONE new short story in like five years?! I did THAT a few months back inspired by my friend Ryan, who found me spinning my wheels and lit a fire bug under me. Still extremely grateful Ry... but, when will I write something else so good again? Sigh.
I feel, at the moment, like such a has-been, AND a vain narrow little recluse (well, or not so "little" in anything but inner-self). Damn, I am not upbeat this Saturday morning. Maybe, I should not post this status, but it is a bleak testimony that I still have my bouts of depression, though they be less severe, and all isn't perfectly well (my back pains, shoulder/side pains have me sort of cooped up in bed, and well, that isn't fun, however many diversions I attempt...
See, I had an epidural a week ago now, and I feel worse for wear, and had put all my eggs in that basket, and hoped it would really help me out, and now, I am just being shamelessly upset with myself, when I am not the one that embedded the needle and so on; and even he (The Doctor who threaded me!) likely thought he could help me.
Disappointing is all. Last week had seemed so very PROMISING (on that note, let's see if that feeling/vibe can come around again ;)
