Thursday is upon us! You know the drill: whenever you're ready, check in here! Crow about your awesome accomplishments! (Or sob like me if you're way behind schedule, lol.)
Each month the community will host a GSD Week:
Day 1: Participants will declare their podfic-related goal for the week. This goal may include recording, editing, designing cover art, archiving, posting, organizing challenges, or anything else related to podfic fandom.
Day 2-6: Participants will (optionally) check in daily with a report of their progress. This is a good opportunity to share snippets of works in progress.
Day 7: Participants will declare their total progress for the week and determine whether or not they've met their personal goal.
Everyone is welcome to drop by and encourage participants in their endeavors. ♥

Date: 2014-02-13 09:31 pm (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?: I finished editing my ridiculously short podfic and did all the uploading / formatting / etc. that needed to be done as well. I'm ready for my posting day tomorrow. \o/
What challenges are you currently facing?: One of my goals is to do a bit more editing. So I want to find some time to do that. Maybe later tonight. I doubt it. I might work on cover art for my Awesome Ladies podfic instead. This is not one of my goals, but making cover art is way more fun than editing. /o\

Date: 2014-02-14 12:05 am (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?: I commented on a couple podfics, which is actually a huge accomplishment, since I have major commenting anxiety. Did some pre-post stuff for the anthology tomorrow.
What challenges are you currently facing?: Recording anxiety, mostly. I don't know why it's so hard for me to sit down in front of the mic, but it is. *glares at microphone*

Date: 2014-02-14 07:34 am (UTC)Good luck with your recording anxiety. I don't know what to suggest. But I hope it gets better. *hides your microphone behind a pop screen so you don't have to look at it*

Date: 2014-02-14 02:08 am (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?: recorded/cover arted/edited/uploaded Intoxicated for analise010!
Current wordcount: 23743/30000
What challenges are you currently facing?: Well, tomorrow I have work until 4, then coffee w/ a friend, then Pathfinder until probably 2am, so I will get NOTHING done until Saturday afternoon.
Are you where you'd hoped to be by this time? Do you think you'll meet your goals for the week?: I'm so close! Yeah, I should hope I'll hit 30k recorded, unless (knock on wood) I wake up with no voice on Saturday, or something.

Date: 2014-02-14 01:30 pm (UTC)No, seriously, I get like maybe 6 hours of sleep a night? Get up at 6, work from 7-3:30, get home at 4, and have nothing most days until I go to bed at 11:30. It's probably terrible. I just hate not being productive. I'm weird. XD
Thank you for the cheerleading!!

Date: 2014-02-14 02:54 am (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?:
Another 1hr 20min of editing! (= 12 min of the recording) But I'm getting closer and closer to the end of this first pass. Probably 2 more hours to go...
What challenges are you currently facing?:
Gosh, so little spare time. I'm hoping to get those 2 aforementioned hours in by the end of the "official" week, plus whatever extra minutes I can on that other, far more problematic fic.
But I'm leaving Saturday afternoon on my family vacation...

Date: 2014-02-14 06:10 am (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?: Did what I thought was the last pass on a podfic only to find one mistake. Since it's not like I'm actually posting podfics these day *cries* I'll be fixing that soon.
What challenges are you currently facing?: I just want to watch the Olympics. CBC has full replay available online for everything. I can't watch and edit at the same time. It's such a huge time sink. Also, when you podfic the same freaking pairs and they don't have much screen time together cobbling a cover is difficult. *cries more*

Date: 2014-02-14 07:44 am (UTC)Text-only covers are cool, too. Or a visual of an object in the fic that is significant? IDK.

Date: 2014-02-14 09:37 am (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?: I finally got through the first rough edit! That part always sucks for me because ALL I can hear are my mistakes and sometimes I just can't decide which line reading I like better.... But it didn't even take as long I thought it would to get it done! Now I can move on to my favorite part: the finishing editing touches and music~!
What challenges are you currently facing?: Real life! I'm applying for another job and it's stressing me out. >:( It's also difficult for me to find some peace and quiet with people in my house watching the Olympics nearly 24/7.
Thank for all the support I got the other day! Podficcers are so nice. :)

Date: 2014-02-14 06:07 pm (UTC)What have you accomplished since yesterday?: I've been trying very hard to stay offline and get back on track with some stuff that's just not working, but I needed to de-stress and ended up recording 5000 words worth of ficlets (of which I already edited 3000). Not what I intended, but at least I'm not stagnating again.
What challenges are you currently facing?: getting stuff done than is not podfic-related *sigh*
