I'm glad you're going through with it. I like the way you tell stories and look forward to hearing the results of this project.

Thank you! I'll try to live up to my words. It's so hard to take initial steps or commit to a plan of action where I have to buy a thing or learn to use new tech. But I believe I can do it.

Happy to take recommendations. Have you found that a Yeti mic is good for solo spoken word? There are all these details about "condensing mic" vs. "dynamic" and analog vs. digital, and some setups where you have to buy a mixer as well. I'm paralyzed by the fear I'll make a bad choice. I don't want to buy something where I also have to buy another device I don't know how to use and will have to learn... eek.

I've been hearing more and more recommendations for the Hamilton musical from people whose opinion I trust lately. I should give it a go. Perhaps this afternoon while I'm cleaning.

Oh, Audacity is fine. I tried using that with another laptop a couple of years ago, and it seemed intuitive enough.

Welp, you've given me a good idea of what a Yeti would be most useful for, and I've taken the plunge and bought one. It should be here tomorrow. Thank you! I'll update you as I learn how to use it best.

Thank you! These are a few of my favorite things. I'll link to "Master of Tides" from a new post--people should know about it.

Happy birthday! I could write you a poem. Or flash, if you would like. I am not sure I can promise full-length fiction on command right now, but request away.

I have recently been enjoying Anna & Elizabeth: "Little Black Train, "Lovin' Babe," "Greenwood Sidey," "Very Day I'm Gone (Rambling Woman)," and "Ida Red" especially. I don't know why I find the latter completely charming, but I do.

[teenybuffalo]

Thank you! It is.

I could write you a poem.

Let me think about that for a yes please oh my word that would be great.

Thanks for the songs! This is great, exactly what I was hoping for--I've never heard of Anna & Elizabeth till now. I like "Little Black Train" and "Greenwood Sidey" already so that's an automatic in with me. I'm very much in the mood for both gospel and old-timey.

All right! What would you like it about?

I'm so glad! I got them from awhyzip, who heard "Father Neptune" on the radio and thought I needed to hear it, too.

I'd like it to be about decay full of life, in some way--like rotting leaves with worms crawling up through them, compost with things living in it, dead paper erupting in mushrooms. Not those specific things necessarily, but something like that.

Happy birthday! Belatedly.
Wait, I think I already said that.

[teenybuffalo]

I'll take it again, thanks!
