The CD Blues

The last few evenings I have been writing audio text for a new batch of CDs I hope to have produced this summer. Writing audio text is much different than written text. I'm constantly stopping to think about how words "sound" rather than how they look on the page, and there are some sentences that read perfectly well on the page that, were they to be read aloud, would be difficult for me to articulate.

I think about the old tongue twisters like:

The sixth sheik's sixth sheep's sick.
or
She sells seashells by the seashore.

I'm eager to get back to some real writing . . . but I'm going to finish my audio CD scripts first.
