Since yesterday, many people have DM’d to say that they were strongly affected by my essay & wished they could share it.

So I've revised, expanded, & posted it for free on both Substack & Patreon.

Please feel free to share.

I'm new to recording and even newer to sound editing, but my latest episode of #bedtimestories is the best so far. When you embrace experience over perfection, you may fail a lot, but when you keep going, you will also learn and grow a lot! #audiorecording #audacity #newpodcast
