Only 37 more pickups on this audiobook. I should be able to knock them all out tomorrow and then I move onto the audio processing phase.

Decided to roll up my sleeves and dive back into the Weekend Warrior Challenge this year. Took a two year hiatus, but this year I'm feeling it, and I'm excited.

Wow. Nothing like Christmas to bring out “good will toward men” in the grocery store… 🙄

Just watched someone start screaming at someone else because their cart was blocking the graham crackers. Like, actual screaming.

I'm watching Pluribus on AppleTV and it is excellent on multiple levels. Highly recommend!!

Anyone else watching?

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Behold! Baby preying Mantids!! These are an invasive species where I live, so none will be released from the tank.

Only 131 pickups to deal with on this audiobook. For me, that's pretty good.

Happy update! I am now officially of the Cambridge Science Fiction Workshop. Apparently, I didn't scare them off with my postpartum changeling ghost story. This is very much feels like a little fish in a big pond moment for me in the best way.

I was invited to audition for an open spot in an SFFH writing group that is populated by some seriously talented authors. Just sent them my audition story, and I am nervous as hell about it. Imposter Syndrome is hitting me so hard right now.

Raw recording complete at 7 hrs 51 minutes. Phew! Time to rest for a bit, then I’m back into the booth to start my first editing pass.

American politicians are trying to sneak a 10 year moratorium on AI regulation into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2026. Please contact your rep and tell them to opposite it!

Got in an (almost) 3 hour recording session today and worked through another 8 chapters. I'm officially halfway through narrating this audiobook!

Recently procured a TZ Audio Stellar X2 Vintage microphone. Gotta say, I’m kind of loving how it handles my voice.

Got a project? Need a voice? Reach out! katherinekarch.com/audiobooks

Me (a blonde haired Caucasian woman with glasses), looking at the camera from behind a Stellar X2 Vintage microphone with a slightly smug expression. Moving blankets decorated with fairy lights cover the walls behind me.

Me: The White House is filled with abusers and trolls.

BlueSky: “Block Account? Blocked accounts cannot reply in your threads, mention you, or otherwise interact with you.”

Me: Absolutely.

Screenshot of the White House account’s new BlueSky account with a popup window that reads “Block Account? Blocked accounts cannot reply in your threads, mention you, or otherwise interact with you” Hell yes, I’m blocking this account.

The best response to the White House’s new BlueSky “troll” account is to actively seek it out and block it. Preemptively deny the $h!tbags an audience. Close the door in their faces, so to speak. It’s not like the account is going to share anything even remotely useful.

Have you heard about the new Royalty Share model Audible is implementing? The race to the bottom is accelerating, and Audible is hoping no one notices their "bait & switch" tactics. (p.s. The video isn't about Brandon Sanderson) #audible #audiobooks #authors
