Warship Satan - audiobook update - halfway done?
About 4 years ago I told myself I was gonna stop writing books because it's too time consuming.
I figured I'll stick to more physical things while I still have my youth.
But then, about 3 years ago I decided that maybe it would be a good idea to do an audiobook version of my last novel.
I listened to the audiobook of a popular novel on Audible.
I think it was SO SAD TODAY.
And it was so minimal, just a woman reading blandly, with zero production,
And that made me feel like, "oh, ok, i can do this myself at home, but do it way better".
So about 3 years ago, I planned the audiobook production out.
About 2.5 years ago, I recorded a bunch of friends doing voices for different characters in the book.
About 6 months ago, I decided it was time to start tracking the audio of me actually reading every single chapter, then I realized I would also have to do major comping/editing to every single chapter, so then I started doing that simultaneously as well.
Well, as of about 5 minutes ago, I finally finished that part of the process for the entire book.
I've been spending entire days just sitting here cutting tiny little breaths between sentences.
As if that doesn't sound like enough work, I also won't feel like this audiobook is complete until it's as good as it can possibly be, and to me that means music, sound design, and a nice balanced mix.
So, I still have a lot of work cut out for me.
100% i would not recommend anyone else do this on their own.
If I could go back I would, but I can't not finish it now that I've come this far.
