How curious are you? Would you like to see just a few minutes of what sort of work goes into making a digitally narrated audiobook?
That’s what I’m sharing today in this video.
Currently, I’m working on getting Waking to Mr. Darcy ready to share on YouTube (and to list on Kobo), so I thought it was a great time to let you see behind the curtain and get a peek at the time and effort that I put into creating audiobooks, vignettes, and digitally narrated blog posts. (The process of editing is the same for them all. 🙂 )
I had some book mail arrive this week, and it gave me this lovely visual to illustrate how the page count and thickness of a book doesn’t always indicate how long the actual story is when compared to the book next to it. I get into the details in this video. I also share how I’m guilty of judging a book by its page count.
An impromptu #writinglife update from one of my favourite places
What’s a girl to do when she’s enjoying a lovely interlude in the park?
Why, film a writing life update so she can share a little bit of her life with you. 🙂 I did not have a mic with me, and since it was windy and the highway is not far away (and it was coming up on rush hour), there is some background noise to contend with. (Not to mention I’m looking a little windblown. Haha!)
Oh! And I did get the date wrong for the multi-author promotion. It’s next Friday, June 28th, and I discovered this morning that we’re almost at 60 participants. There’ll be lots to choose from!
I hope you enjoy this little peek at one of my favourite places!
In this What’s Up Wednesday post, I’ve got exciting news for Patreon and Ream subscribers and a question that I could use some help answering: What should I talk about on weeks when the writing news is slim?
For a couple of months, I’ve been sharing occasional video updates about my writing life on Substack, which I use as my newsletter provider, and YouTube.
Today, I’m going to start sharing those video here as well as on my blog and Ream Stories so that readers have lots of choices to find and follow me and learn about my books. Here’s today’s post that goes with the video above.

Good Morning!
Today’s schedule at my house got tossed out the window this today before I was even fully awake. The good news is that the plumber is here to fix the kitchen sink’s drain pipe. The bad news is that this is when I had scheduled to do my What’s Up Wednesday video. So, that’s not happening. 🙂 Instead, let me share with you a behind the scenes video that I made yesterday as I was working on getting a book for my other pen name (Annilee Nelson) ready for release day.
This video shows you how I get Books2Read links, pages, and tabs ready to go. I hope you enjoy the peek into one small part of my writing life. It’s the same process for Leenie books – and I even show you my B2R author page for Leenie in the video too. (BTW, all the links on my book page here on my website currently take you to a B2R book tab.)
The video is just about 12.5 minutes long.
Enjoy!
P.S. Are there other behind the scenes things you’d be interested in learning about? Let me know in the comment section.
