Only 37 more pickups on this audiobook. I should be able to knock them all out tomorrow and then I move onto the audio processing phase. #audio #audiobooks #audiobooknarrator #voiceacting #havingfun

Decided to roll up my sleeves and dive back into the Weekend Warrior Challenge this year. Took a two year hiatus, but this year I'm feeling it, and I'm excited. #codexwriters #weekendwarrior2026 #writers #amwriting #flashfiction #sffh

Wow. Nothing like Christmas to bring out “good will toward men” in the grocery store… 🙄 Just watched someone start screaming at someone else because their cart was blocking the graham crackers. Like, actual screaming.

I'm watching Pluribus on AppleTV and it is excellent on multiple levels. Highly recommend!! Anyone else watching? #GreatTV #Pluribus #AppleTV #MustWatch #HighlyRecommend

Worth a read.

Behold! Baby preying Mantids!! These are an invasive species where I live, so none will be released from the tank. #entomology #insects #mantids #teacher #biology #biologyteacher #itsthelittlethings

Only 131 pickups to deal with on this audiobook. For me, that's pretty good. #audiobooks #audiobooknarrator #havingfun

Snow! 🥰❄️

Happy update! I am now officially of the Cambridge Science Fiction Workshop. Apparently, I didn't scare them off with my postpartum changeling ghost story. This is very much feels like a little fish in a big pond moment for me in the best way. #writer #amwriting #writingcommunity #SFFwriters

Raw recording complete at 7 hrs 51 minutes. Phew! Time to rest for a bit, then I’m back into the booth to start my first editing pass. #voiceactor #voiceacting #audiobooks #voiceactingcommunity #audiobooknarrator #femalevoiceactor

American politicians are trying to sneak a 10 year moratorium on AI regulation into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2026. Please contact your rep and tell them to opposite it! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... #AI #AIregulation #politics #AmericanPolitics #politicalactivism

Recorded another six chapters last night. I'm 12 chapters away from the finish line on this project! #audiobooks #audiobooknarration #audiobooknarrator

I was invited to audition for an open spot in an SFFH writing group that is populated by some seriously talented authors. Just sent them my audition story, and I am nervous as hell about it. Imposter Syndrome is hitting me so hard right now. #impostersyndrome #writerslife #writingcommunity

Got in an (almost) 3 hour recording session today and worked through another 8 chapters. I'm officially halfway through narrating this audiobook! #audiobooks #audiobooknarration #audiobooknarrator

Finally watching NOBODY on Prime Video. 2/3s in & I’m genuinely enjoying it. #movies #goodmovies #actionmovies #PrimeVideo #Nobody

Recently procured a TZ Audio Stellar X2 Vintage microphone. Gotta say, I’m kind of loving how it handles my voice. Got a project? Need a voice? Reach out! katherinekarch.com/audiobooks #voiceactor #voiceacting #audiobooknarrator #dowhatyoulove #femalevoiceactor #havingfun #newmic #audio

Got a new mic! This weekend is going to all about getting to know it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs0B... #voiceacting #voiceover #audio #microphone #audiobooks #hobby #havingfun #YouTube #Video

Me: The White House is filled with abusers and trolls. BlueSky: “Block Account? Blocked accounts cannot reply in your threads, mention you, or otherwise interact with you.” Me: Absolutely. #NoKings #NoFascists #Resist

The best response to the White House’s new BlueSky “troll” account is to actively seek it out and block it. Preemptively deny the $h!tbags an audience. Close the door in their faces, so to speak. It’s not like the account is going to share anything even remotely useful. #NoKings #BlockFascists

The final race was high stakes!! #mariokart8 #familyfun #nintendo #videogames

Have you heard about the new Royalty Share model Audible is implementing? The race to the bottom is accelerating, and Audible is hoping no one notices their "bait & switch" tactics. (p.s. The video isn't about Brandon Sanderson) #audible #audiobooks #authors www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfSW...

New audiobook sample recorded, processed, and posted up on ACX today. That brings me up to 4 samples posted. Not sure how many is ideal, but I'm starting to build up a decent library, I think. #voiceacting #beginner #audiobooknarrator #ACX #havingfun

New recording space, complete. Materials used: thick pile rug, layered moving blankets, staple gun, quilted placemats. VO coach confirms, sound quality is great. Now to start auditioning for #audiobooks. Here's to exploring new interests. #VO #VoiceOver #Audio #Audiobooks #DIY #HomeStudio

We need optimism now more than ever!

I love my kneeling chair, but a three hour long live proofing session was a bit too much for it. (😩, my knees!)

Yep. Publishers are WELL AWARE of this, too, otherwise they wouldn't bother with *any* book tours or ad campaigns. If they think something won't move the needle, they don't fork out. It's just that they only want to give those things to the authors who they want to sell well. *shrug*

You know, I really wish this man would go away and never come back.

This was the Salem Willows pier Friday evening. The next morning it was empty of people but bits of fishing line of varying lengths were strewn everywhere. People come to fish, to enjoy the ocean’s bounty, yet they have no appreciation or gratitude for its gifts. Absolutely shameful. #dobetter

A great ReaderCon this year! Amazing panels & discussions. Great hallway conversations. Fantastic authors & editors. The Karaoke party was pretty rad too, from what I heard. Great to reconnect with friends. Sorry if I missed you. We'll get another chance next year. #readercon #writingcommunity

I’m helping out w/ audio at this year’s #ReaderCon. #Volunteering to help the #SFFH community is my small way of fighting back against policies & actions meant to dismantle and destroy writers, artists, creativity, and critical thinking thought. #resist #support #celebrate #protect

First #ReaderCon selfie, with ‪ @karchwrites.bsky.social. Awesome time catching up before programming began. Other members of Aurora Street critique group are also here (@bethanypowell.bsky.social and @larkmorganlu.bsky.social). Former member ‪ @willmcmahon36.bsky.social is here too.

Views from today’s walk. I love coming here in the mornings, starting my day with the scent of the sea in my nose and a gentle peace in my heart. #ocean #oceanlife #mornings #nature #beauty #coastalphotography #iphone16 #salemmassachusetts

Last fall I picked up a new hobby. Now that it’s summer, I get to spend more time on it. Getting my ACX profile set up and samples uploaded. Having fun and learning many new skills! #havingfun #hobbies #voiceover #narration #audiobooks #neverstoplearning #trynewthings #growthmindset #summer

Spouse finally convinced me to upgrade my iPhone. Went from a 2nd gen SE to a 16. Omg, they’re so different! I’m having serious technological vertigo right now. #Technology #WhenDidIGetSoOld

Need something new to read? Here are my ten favorite short speculative fiction stories from May. reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Started watching a movie last night on Prime Video “free with limited interruptions.” It got late so I decided I’d finish it today. This morning, the movie’s suddenly only available to rent/buy. 🙄😡 Yeah, nope. Not paying $$ to watch the last 20 minutes of a mediocre Vin Diesel flick.

Currently broadcasting from Atlanta

Check out Anomaly, a Patreon magazine of short, dark sci-fi stories. The first three stories are up free for anyone to read. Right now we publish two stories per month, available to read at the free tier, and do interviews with the authors for our paying Patrons. Check us out! patreon.com/AnomalySF

The school year is almost over, and my summer season has returned. The new pier in Salem, MA is gorgeous. I felt a swell of gratitude for simply existing as I stood at the end of it today and gazed out at the ocean. So beautiful. #nature #ocean #seaside #photography #SalemMA

Though I'd share a link to a sample test recording I did with the mic I built, Serena (parts purchased via JLI electronics). I think it sounds decent, but I have limited experience. #DIY #Hobby #Audio #Sound #Microphone #VoiceOver drive.google.com/file/d/10TAW...

Guess I'll be ditching Duolingo. They just fired a BUNCH of their employees & replaced them with AI. Company claims it’s because AI is the only way they can keep up with content demand, but what they really mean is that it’s cheap so f**k real life people & their need for employment. #duolingo #AI

I did it! I completed my 2nd DIY mic build. It's basically the Sabrena mic on the JLI Electonics website, but I bought the parts individually through JLI & bought a super cheap mic body off Amazon. Assembled it over the past 3 days. Tested it tonight. So proud that 1) it works & 2) sounds great!

Today's Pop Culture Happy Hour is about Murderbot! www.npr.org/2025/05/20/1...

Embarking upon my second DIY mic build tonight. Total novice. Taking everything slowly. Soldered the 22nF capacitors & wires to the XLR pins. That's enough for one evening. I'll get back to it tomorrow night. #DIY #hobby #beginner #audio #microphone #learning

I watched them both, cursed AppleTV for forcing patience upon me in having to wait until Friday for Episode 3, then rewatched episodes 1 & 2. SO GOOD!! #mustwatch #murderbot #AppleTV #sciencefiction #scifi #streaming #television

Took a Level 1 Wilderness Survival class today. Covered a lot of intro skills. Proud that I started a fire using only natural kindling and a ferro rod in a light rain with one arm pinned up in a makeshift sling. Not too shabby. 😊
