No idea.

Kristin, my longest audiobook narration to date is the 16 hour history of the Southern Company, called "Big Bets", which was somewhere around 155,000 words or so.
But I'd rather do one of those a WEEK than do one of what YOU'RE doing in my lifetime. I tip my hat to YOU!!!
(oh, and 'purulent sputum'? It's not bad on wheat toast if you spread it thinly enough.... )

I think those last two posts may provoke an unpronounceable medical condition in me...

I feel Kristen's pain.
I did a medical workbook recently and it was 11 hours of finished audio. My wife worked 5 pages ahead of me phonetically spelling out words after looking them up on Dictionary.com. She saved me from words like: Hyperbilirubinemia.
The book was full of 9 syllable words. Ugh...it was tough. But it makes most of the others I've done since then seem like a walk in the park.

Kristin,
That is a long one, and the lingo can slow you down more than usual, when you have to stop and look up a word's pronunciation, etc....and they don't always roll off the tongue so easily....Hang in there!

I'm currently neck-deep in the longest long-form e-learning I've ever done -- about 100,000 words. What makes it even more fun? It's medical narration -- so I get to say sentences like:
"Adult respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, is acute respiratory failure in adults and is characterized by tachypnea, dyspnea, cyanosis, tachycardia, and hypoxemia. It may follow trauma, pneumonia, or septic infections. It is also called acute respiratory distress syndrome."
LOTS of sentences like that.
And did I mention there's a crazy deadline for all fourteen chapters? I'm working about 7-8 hours a day, and I'm still not sure I'm going to make it...
But I'm learning. My editing is getting faster, and I know more about diseases than I ever wanted to know...
So mad props to you Long-Formers. I'm going to need a vacation after this... |
And here I was, Kristin, complaining about a 44,000 word Su Jok Project in April.
Now, I see, I should have been grateful...and this comes from an avid reader. I learned, reading to yourself is different than reading to kids, is different than reading to record.
Let's just say April was a loooooong month.
