The voice is reading the book flawlessly. I wonder how many 'takes' it took. Did she practice reading once before so that she will get the intonations right? Or can you just get the drift of the story so well that you can afford to read aloud a random book, with no mistakes? I have tried and got a good deal of things wrong. If any soul is reading this, have you ever tried reading a book aloud? Have you listened to yourself? What do you think of it?

Someone* has commissioned me to write things that are NOT certain things. I have accepted it, more as a challenge to get me out of a... spell. Very early, I realized that rather than creating something absolutely new, I was rather good at putting together things or observing and narrating something. I am almost convinced now that no one actually creates something absolutely new. Every one takes inspiration from somewhere and incubates that embryo+.
* I,Sojourner
+ the usage of that word is no coincidence. In my little universe, there's a baby boom of sorts.
