PL notes for Chronicle Eleven:

Thanks! I’ll get on that soon

Ah, okay. I'll have to check it out. I just really want Rebecca to have romance too :lol: Well, after listening to this chapter twice (once PL'ing the narration and then PL'ing the entire chapter), I realized Ms. Wiggin may be implying that there is a little something going on between Rebecca and a...

Yay, thanks! Haha, no worries! Thanks for being willing to sing! No, I don't think Kate Douglas Wiggin wrote any sequels. There is, however, a sequel written by her nephew, Eric Wiggin -- Rebecca Returns to Sunnybrook . Guess he felt sorry for all the readers left hanging after reading New Chronicl...

:shock: That's a very realistic cat noise. If I had to guess, I'd say your mom has lots of experience with cats! :lol: Yes, we have five of them :lol: She really gets into her voice acting. For some reason my mom got really into her character in Understood Betsy- a kitten. She had to do two takes b...

I'm still doing this. I've been busy lately with Little Men, New Chronicles of Rebecca and Understood Betsy. I only have to record 1 more chapter for Little Men, though, and then this will be my only LV project, so I'm hoping to get some more sections in soon (and not as slowly.)

For some reason my mom got really into her character in Understood Betsy- a kitten. She had to do two takes because her first hiss was way too aggressive and she didn't realize it was supposed to be a baby cat... and then she decided to add a meow as well. I don't know why recording this was so hard...

Here's Graykin:

I'm sorry, Twinkle, my mom insisted on embellishing the hiss with a meow as well hopefully that was okay.

Final chronicle, ready for PL at 39:23: https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/newchronicles_11_wiggin_128kb.mp3 I'm sorry for singing so flat! :oops: It sounded okay at the time, but editing my own voice into the chapter, I realized I was pretty off-key. Also- do you know, Twinkle, did this autho...

There was a young lady called Psyche
Who was heard to ejaculate "Pcryche!"
For while riding her pbych
She ran over a ptych
And fell into a hedge, which was pspyche.

Did you make that up? It’s hilarious!

I second that. It’s very clever

Just don't pronounce it "sluff" (like "tough"). :lol: EDIT: Which, by the way, is the proper pronunciation for the verb "slough" as in, for a snake to slough off (shed) a skin, and (noun) for the shed skin thereof. :roll: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/slough Good to know! It's interesting how m...

I used to think of "slough" in the noun sense as rhyming with "bough" but have heard "slew" more recently... maybe it's a regional thing? I see both listed online. (I'm from New England...) I’ve never heard of slough pronounced “bough”- that’s a completely foreign idea to me. Here in California we ...

PL notes for Chapter 7: @ 38:07 The pause seems just a little bit too long. Could you maybe trim this down to three seconds? @ 14:30 Repeat: "...mebbe I won't be so fraid of gettin' hooked and scrunched, because she'll know she's mine, and she'll go better." (Is it possible to cleanly cut this out?...
