The audio’s still not word for word (WIP) – you can listen or read but probably best if you don’t listen and read along. Some things don’t feel natural when spoken. I am also working on getting rid of filler words – be patient with me please. Also, I can’t always tell how much silence is too much – but I’m pretty sure I don’t have too much silence here. and filler words are hard to edit out.
… And I still hate the word “tolerate.” I just can’t stand it. And everytime I hear someone say it, I wanna rage! Even the origin of the word does not lend well to the context we use it in today. Let’s see how well you tolerate getting your throat ripped out or having my foot, entire leg AND a rotoscope, up your butt. Fuck you and your tolerate!
I’m having that moment where something’s telling me I’m swearing too much. I’ll have a few posts where I don’t swear at all then it will return with a vengeance.
I elicited feedback from a few close and trusted sources – so far, I’ve enacted most of that feedback
IMO – I don’t have a spoken word poetry voice. What to do! But I definitely don’t want to use those robotic text-to-speech guys. Hmmm … I will get comfortable with my voice – It seems this recording idea is a good exercise for reasons I didn’t anticipate.
Also in the process of listening to the recording, over and over for editing, I realized how much I jump around from subject to subject – that is exactly what goes on in my head but maybe I can find an easy way to transition from one subject to the next – even if that means numbering things yes. It’s funny – I don’t notice it when I proofread but I notice it when listening. Interesting.
It’s Officially Official – I’m comfortable saying my morning pages have become a habit. You wanna know how I know? I know this because I do it even when I don’t want to. I still need to ensure time for my weekly artist dates.
Just for the because of it, I put up a curtain in front of my door – When I was young, I badly wanted a canopy bed – now I’m over them but I still love flowy fabric.
Oh and – just because you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, doesn’t mean you should stay in it, cause duration is not a key performance indicator of the right relationship. If your’ve already let the wrong one in, don’t be afraid to let them out – you have my permission to kick them all the way to the curb – I pray …
Lord, Please give the kicker a long driveway with lots of jagged bumps, potholes and a few strategically placed land mines that are programmed to respond to the kickee's weight only. Ahhhhmen.
