Lost track of how many podcast curses I've gone through. I'm almost at the point of giving up and going with the crappy game set headphone.

Upside, I got through another chapter and mapped out the next chapter. I'm on chapter 13 of the Science Fiction/Fantasy book.

Downside... I bought 2 more mikes and found that my Presonus box is acting weird in a way I can't understand. O.o;; It is recording for the left plug only the left side and the right side only the right side. This would be OK, but w… Continue

My head cold cleared, got a Presonus with wire set up... plugged everything in, got it to see the computer and the computer to see it. MXL microphone is not working in the *exact* same way as before. Only *one* side records. Is this a curse upon me? I might have to return the mike unless some person know how to copy a left track in Audacity to a right track. *sighs* What curse number is this? Murphy should be keeping count.

Are you sure that I can't just use my headphone mike? That's what I tho… Continue

It comes with a small audience as well with a few people saying they will definitely listen to it. This book is Women's Lit, I would say. Not really Chic Li… Continue

Don't podcast until you get your novel finished. I know that. Which is why I've been burning myself out with rewriting the chapters that simply don't work.

I'm somewhere on Chapter 5 looking critically at chapters 2 and 3. I tried to shorthand Chapters 2 and 3 because I knew if I didn't they'd run long. It didn't work, so I have to go back and edit them.

I'm resigning myself also on the fact that at the rate I'm going I won't be able to podcast this novel until next year. I also resigned mysel… Continue
