What am I doing tonight? Not doing homework, an architecture essay on the history of Neuschwanstein. Not cleaning the house or working on a resume or any number of things I should be doing. Instead, I'm writing Chapter Nine in TDS and making brownies.
And the slacking is wickedly, wonderfully, delicious.
Mm, brownies.

Just Some Updates
With the sun setting at 6:00 pm, I'm so tired I could curl into bed right after dinner. So I'll keep the post short for today and just give anyone who checks in a heads up on what I'm plotting lately.
The Hearthsinger
I got a call today from the magnificent mother of a friend of mine, who offered to help set up recording sessions for The Hearthsinger throughout January. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I am so so excited to finally get the main parts cast. A beautiful friend of mine named Claire has agreed to read Mari for me, and I promised to bake her as many cookies as possible. It'll be worth it. She has a beautiful speaking voice and a perfect one for Mari. I'm going through a heavy editing phase right now, but I'm aiming to get things done by early December. And hopefully I'll be posting more chapters soon!
The Default Sweater
Erin got mentioned in the Figment newsletter this week, and I'm so happy for her! Very excited to make editor's choice, and hopefully I'll be getting a couple more chapters posted over Thanksgiving break!
Both Hearthsinger and TDS have gotten new covers, and they are gorgeous! Thank you to Carolyn Fisher for her work on The Hearthsinger.
Other than that, all's quiet on the home front. Man. I love vacations.

Coming to You Soon: The Hearthsinger on Audio!
New chapters of The Default Sweater and The Hearthsinger are up on figment! Hopefully, now that things have calmed down a bit, I'll get around to posting more.
This post is dedicated to revealing my secret project...which, truthfully, has not been so secret around here. Over the next few months, I'll be working with a cast here in Austin to produce a few chapters of The Hearthsinger on audio. I've always loved audiobooks, and ones with full casts--an actor for each character rather than narrated through one voice only--are amazing. I'm incredibly excited! Over the next few months I'll be posting how recording/editing is going, along with the cast and a few more details. Both versions of the chapters--written version and audio--will be posted on my figment account/facebook account/blog, hopefully by January.
The whole process is very exciting for me. I love the cast so far, and soon (I hope) will be able to sit down and meet Michaela, the girl who will be reading the voice of Mari, the main character. I feel so very lucky to go to a school which allows me to do projects like this. There's still a lot to organize, so I'll keep this blog post short and hope to tell you all more in the future. In the meantime--off to go edit the next chapter! Wish me luck!
