Happy to have done the voiceover for my story Merriment for @amazingstories.bsky.social it was quite the experience. I’m better at talking than editing sound so I did it all in one file. Took me about 7 tries but the final had no mistaken words etc. Pic is a crazy 🎄 Santa & reindeer ornament
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

The question was along the lines of "For short stories that have been accepted, how many submissions did it take (on average or other aggregate".
This is an interesting question, and one that I think we should have the data at hand here to answer! (with the biases of the data set of course)
