My second audiobook won't appear on Audible until it's passed the quality test by ACX. I've made 11 sales of Book 1 Who Kills A Nudist?—not bad, considering I've done no promotion. I've posted details of where to buy it in The Marketplace. I've recorded 12 chapters of Book 3 and mastered three of them, which I may upload by the end of the month, provided I keep on working at least 12 hours daily!

Tonight, I submitted Audiobook 2, The Perfect Murderer, to ACX for checking. I'm glad to see the back of it. Running time is 19 hours, 1 minute & 51 seconds, so I can honestly say it's readable in less than a day!

Warning! Anyone using Audacity may find that their stored projects won't open properly owing to 'missing audio blocks'. I updated to the latest version and it's still doing it. I'm in touch with one of the app's administrators. Opening your work effectively destroys it! I've lost 100 hours of recordings.

Yippee! My first audiobook passed the ACX check. It will be on sale in a few days. I'm 53 chapters into mastering the 62 chapters of Book 2, and aim to complete the other three stories in my Cornish Detective series by Christmas. I used to be a writer - but now I'm an audio-slave!

Too good to keep secret. I'm currently loving Brad Watson's Miss Jane—so well-written, that I pause to re-read a sentence and marvel. Tragically, Brad Watson died this year: Brad Watson, 64, Dies; His Southern Upbringing Animated His Books

I'm happy because I collected four requested library books + the charity shop has reopened, so I bought five 90's CDs. Everyone was wearing masks queuing to enter the supermarket...like a polite gang of robbers!

Sorry for the delay in posting TFTD but I've had connectivity issues. I topped up my credit yesterday on GiffGaff & though I was 'connected' to the internet, I couldn't open any sites! Advice from help staff @ GG's community offered tech solutions none of which worked. I found a spare SIM which I charged and it worked. The old SIM had died overnight! Any advice on how to hold a funeral for it?

Glory be! My local library is sort-of reopening. Requested books can be collected from the entrance hall, but no going inside to browse the shelves, as that's deemed too risky!

I recently bought a Røde microphone for £102. I also bought an acoustic guitar for £50.
