It’s our one year anniversary with IWSG! I’m impressed with us that we haven’t missed a month, though we’ve squeaked in a little late here and there.
If you’d like to chime in and let us know your answers to the questions or drop a link to your post if you’re participating, please do so in the comments! And check out the IWSG website for more answers!
April 6 question – Have any of your books been made into audio books? If so, what is the main challenge in producing an audiobook?
Jayden: I can answer for both of us. Nope! For me, I don’t even know where I would begin to produce an audiobook. Although, fun fact, I once recorded about 90% of a novel as an audiobook for a boyfriend in high school. It was his favorite book and there was no audiobook of it. When I couldn’t buy one, I wanted to record it just for him, but I never finished and then we broke up. Ah well. Would’ve been a copyright issue, anyway
Richard also said no, but he did make a writing observation today that we’ll share: He’s enjoying our A to Z Challenge blog posts. I (Jayden) am writing the worldbuilding details, and he’s writing a story to go with it, except he’s purposefully not quite writing about the same thing I am. For example, coming up on 4/7 is “F is for Food” but he somehow wrote more about firepower and scarecrows than food! It’s worth the read though!
I haven’t done any audiobooks but I’m not sure I will either. It doesn’t appeal to me as a format for reading.

I love listening to them. Makes my commute much better!

You might laugh, but I´ve never heard an audiobook, English isn´t my native language and even in Spanish I´m a bit hearing impaired so I would need to read the book as I listen to it anyway.
But one day I´d love if one of my stories turned into audiobooks.

I’m a little hearing impaired as well, but as long as the volume is high enough, I’m okay. Sometimes I have to rewind things if I miss something. To each their own! I really like putting on audiobooks of books I’ve read, so if I miss something, it doesn’t matter.

That’s a great advice to try!
