Stephen King's novel, Christine, changes point of view in various chapters. It was done so well, I never even noticed until someone pointed it out --- after I read the book!
Hi, Nancy.
You know, a while ago I had the exact same concerns you are having. Over the period of several months, I kept confiding my frustration to a friend who eventually told me what I should do is save myself all the time and money I was putting…
Yes, on the advice of an agent, I chucked the first few chapters and started over. Broke my heart to lose all that work, too.
But by golly, it's a better story now.
By the way, If you are planning to query literary agents about this novel, I would…
I agree, sounds better. The podcasts I mentioned are all on Poddiobooks, or can be downloaded from itunes. Chipping has to do with how these sound files are made. I'm not real technical, but basically all sound recorded has to be fitted into the fil…
Okay, got it.
Thanks.
Well, it doesn't seem like there will be many opinions posted regarding my new and improved prologue.
Thank you, Nathan, for your effort.
I think I will just go ahead and record the book and then upload it, (assuming it mee…

Also, I've always thought that clipping only occurred when recording levels were set too high. But…
Phil:
In this revised edition, I took to heart what I consider the two most important points you made:
Go thru your text and mark it up. Consider each sentence.
Decide how to adjust your variables to suit each sentence.
Nathan:
I hope this sounds…
The examples I site for who has the best delivery is Chris, in House Of Grey. We vocal mortals can't hope to be nearly as good, but he sets a standard to strive for. Nathan has a warm delivery, and is also an excellent model to follow. We all love P…
Yes, this is exactly the feedback I was looking for. Thank you Nathan and Craig.
Checked out Traitor blog. Good stuff.
I'm working on my delivery, and I do believe I'm getting the hang of it. But the true test will be what you think. Will post anoth…
Albert, I agree w/Nathan and Phil, about the cadence and tone. I've said this to others before: remember, you're having fun, so let it show! Read Jeff Kafer's comments on Nathan's discussion chain "If I could start over again", if you haven't alread…
