PSA for the KU members: Fire & Magic is waiting for you. 🐉🔥 It's there now, but I can't promise it'll be there always, so if you've been putting it off, stop that. Go grab it. You're welcome. 😄

A reader messaged me just to tell me I'm too damn cute not to have a picture with every single one of my books and I think that's the most important feedback I've received all year. 😂

I mean… who am I to argue with that? 📸✨

Here is the one I got for my kid for around $60. If you have your eyes on one, make sure you check back frequently for sales. And you don't have to lean on Amazon either. Because sometimes the best sales are through the company's websites.

This is the mic I got. Grabbed it on sale for like $50. I don't think this one is available on Amazon anymore because they are focusing on the latest models. www.amazon.com/dp/B09XDH2P6...

The fact that you did this is a big accomplishment! Once you get your mic, you'll be pretty much set. A lot of what we think you need to have a proper narration set up is an illusion.

When you say, have you made any experiences, what do you mean? Are you asking if I documented my experience, or made a video about it?

Wow, you treated the walls too? That's awesome!

Yes, getting a better mic will definitely pick up ALL the sound. My HyperX picks up every-damn-thing, even my thoughts, 😆 but you can control it with the right app. The noise gate function is God-sent.

I'm looking forward to it. And if I'm not mistaken, aren't they following the plot from the books?

...But using that mic and Logic Pro makes a big difference in the sound engineering aspect. The functions they offer make it sound like I recorded in a professional studio. I'm still learning the ins and outs of everything, and there are still challenges to overcome, but I'm getting there! 😄

As for my setup, I have a little writing nook near a closet in our guest bedroom, so I hung a heavy curtain over the opening and turned it into a makeshift booth. Also, I invested in a HyperX mic...mainly because it lights up. Things that light up are an easy sell for me 🤩...

...After putting so much time into learning GarageBand (the learning curve is not that steep, but it was a challenge), shifting to Logic Pro just made sense since it's basically an advanced version of the same app. That's part of the advantage of being an Apple girlie.

I've heard really good things about Audacity! A lot of pro narrators mentioned it when I was researching apps. I already had GarageBand on my computer, so I started there. I didn't think it would work well given that it's made for musical artists and bands, but I was pleasantly surprised...

Have you ever fought your way out of a bad dream, woke up, then drifted back off to sleep, only to be dropped right back into that dream? Like your brain saved the checkpoint? 😭

She was on some fkk ish last night. 😩

What app are you using? I use logic Pro.

Yeeesss! That’s going to be a real challenge for me. I may have to use my kid to fill in. 😂 He just evolved into his manly voice.

Rock Star Lover | Re-Recording, New App, and Yes, I Laughed at Myself One of the best perks of narrating your own book is that you can make changes on the spot.

"One thing I’m actively working on is my deep register. I go deep to voice the male characters, and sometimes... it goes a little too deep. I laughed at myself more than once during playback." #booksky #narrator #indieauthor open.substack.com/pub/yvonneni...

Just finished another story in the Dragon Queen series! Now comes the fun dilemma. Do I release it wide or do an exclusive run through my website first? I'm leaning toward a website exclusive launch... which also gives me the perfect opportunity to drag y’all over to my site. 😄 Stay tuned! #booksky

Chapter Seven ~ 10:43 PM (Within the Shadows) Felt like he’d been dropped into an anime mid-scene. No context. No warning. No way out.

Had to split up a very chunky chapter. Final chapter dropping this weekend.

Did some narrating today and I can’t get the country out of my voice no matter how hard I try. 😭

The Author ✨ The First Page 📖 The Cover 📚

Saw my fellow authors, having fun with this trend, so I had to jump in.

This novel is my love letter to Black cosplayers and gamers—the creatives, the dreamers, the ones who show up boldly in every space.

Finally getting a handle on Shopify. Spent the better part of yesterday setting up my website and store. Got my BookFunnel linked up so the move is officially happening. Thank God I’m good at learning curves, ‘cause this could’ve been a headache.

Created my new thumbnail.

I’m treating my YouTube channel like the creative space it deserves to be—voice work, storytelling, behind-the-scenes moments, and growth in real time.

This is me showing up consistently and on purpose. Let’s see where it goes.

Feels strange to promote my books while the world is spiraling. But I like to think my stories give people a small escape from our dark reality. #booksky
