I haven’t been here for such long time. Well, to be frank, I did not have time for it. And what is more important I did not have will to write.
Few weeks ago I finally finished recording “Eragon”. I got paid, money is gone, I have no money and no work, as for today. My audio book is going to be released on 6th of December. I must say that I will never do it again for the kind of money I agreed to. There are 2 other parts of the “Inheritance Trilogy” and if the Publisher would like me to record them, I will ask for 3 times more money than I accepted last time. Three times might be even not enough.
Working in the studio was gruesome an experience, however I love woerking there and treat recording studio as my second home.
Dead lines my Publisher set for us were absolutely unacceptable. But I did not know about it and when I found out about them I didn't say anything. I hate myslef!!!
I worked there for 120 hours in the span of 10 days. Reading! Interpreting! Doing my best!
No more!
Now I am waiting for the Publishing house to call me to do plug ins in the media. Initially I agreed to do it with no charge but now I am sure I am going to ask for money.
Nothing for free. I am angry at myself that I let it happened.
I thought it is going to be good a investment in my future and career development, and perhaps it will be, but I am not going to do it for nothing.
What else can I do? I am not going to starve. I hate to be old and hate to be shoved aside. I am getting depressed again.
