Stuff, and the doing of it by me:
Mar. 12th, 2010 02:13 pmI'm at work today. I'm feeling the TGIF sentiment more and more these days, I guess because I'm working more hours than usual. Yes, it means a bit more money that I can have to spend on book marketing. But I have less time to do the actual work involved. I've been trying really hard to think up inexpensive ways to get more exposure. Hence my idea to produce and distribute an audio CD sampler of novel chapters and short stories. It's all coming together. Last night, I thought of a title:
A Spoonful of Murder
I know, right?
It's great.
This weekend I'm going to record my audio, and edit some existing audio I got from a friend. The reading is good, but there's a hum under the vocal.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uterdic told me about some kind of scrubby program that will take that out, but I forgot to ask how to acquire said program. I only have so much money to spend on stuff. Between the Zoom H2, CD's, jewel cases, and printing--it's getting to cost a pretty penny. Not only will I be putting stuff up on my Podomatic podcast site, but I'll be submitting to iTunes in the hopes of gaining some wider exposure. My dear friend in California did some screen sharing stuff with me and now I'm pretty confident I can do the basics in GarageBand. So that's swell.
Still looking for an actress who has or can do a Middle Eastern accent. Like what a Hindu might sound like. I would need her for two voices (Mom and Daughter, so it's fine if they are similar; ideally, the daughter's accent should be a bit lighter) totaling I think 6 chapters in all. I also need one more actress to read a character in the new book. Beginning April 12th, I hope to be able to podcast 2 chapters a week, in addition to selling the CD for a super low price. Hopefully, that will help get the word out that there are scarybooks afoot, and that I am writing them.
Finally watched last week's LOST. I heart Ben Linus. This is not new news. Still not loving the obvious religious parallels and if this turns out to be a "Why you should put your faith in Jesus, oh, I mean Jacob" then I'm going to be bummed. However, if they're leading me in that direction intentionally for the express purpose of throwing me a curve ball (you know, like in SAW or Shutter Island), I will likely be very pleased. ( My new guess for how the series will end is... )
