This is it, crew.
As of today, I become a full time author — at least until another job opens up at the university or I pick up some part time teaching work. It’s a bit scary but also very exciting. The past few days have been an exhausting process of tying off loose ends, cleaning up the mess from a too-busy life, and getting my quackers all cheesed up.
Thie first item on my To Do List is a remodeling job to turn the back room — where I’ve had a temporary set up for recording for almost three years — into something more permanent. It will be nothing like a full sound studio but it should make my recording process smoother. I hate to take the time, but it’ll pay off in the long run and — fingers crossed — it’ll only be a few days.
This is what is looks like now:
Today I need to clean it out and paint it. Tomorrow I’ll make the bookcases that I’ve been promising my wife that I’d make. I intend to use those for the walls of my new recording booth.
Thanks for coming along for the ride, shipmates, and I’ll keep you posted as we go along.
PS. Yes, I’ve started Owner’s Share and I’m really looking forward to this one. I was looking for my theme and I think I’ve found it. All I have to do now is settle in to watch the movie in my head play out. I probably won’t break my NaNoWriMo record for production speed, but I’m very optimistic.
