Like Peter, I was also curious as to your equipment and technique.<br /><br />I usually spend my days as a writer, but seldom find time for creative writing.

My voice has been bothering me for about three weeks, and I wasn't entirely pleased with the end results of my recording. Still, glad you liked it.<br /><br />I record on a Shure SM57 run that's run through an M-Audio Audio Buddy Preamp. It's a fairly inexpensive little setup that's supposed to last for, like, forever.Loren Eatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488412683340389286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025264318423694875.post-25996163699385770912011-06-17T15:49:50.989-04:002011-06-17T15:49:50.989-04:00Donna,

Well done, and very well written.

Move? Go on fabulous holidays?<br /><br />Nope, I tell them. All that is scheduled in for the sale of the third novel. The first couple just catches the bills up, if I'm lucky.<br /><br />Excellent submission Loren. I hope you consider publishing more of your fiction writing on your blog You have such a creative mind.<br /><br />.......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025264318423694875.post-8086027010359813492011-06-15T14:54:23.832-04:002011-06-15T14:54:23.832-04:00Great ending!
