A Science Fiction Collection and a Mixtape Wednesday, March 13, 2024

I’ve been busy working on my next book, a collection of science fiction short stories, while compiling a mixtape for Mr. Ted Munk. In preparation for the fiction manuscript, I printed it out and painstakingly used my comb binding machine to punch holes along the sides of the pages to accommodate the plastic comb binder. Although it’s a bit of a chore, it’s well worth the effort. It significantly enhances the manuscript’s readability, adding a personal touch that makes the experience of delving into the stories much more intimate and engaging. This hands-on approach not only makes the material more accessible but also reflects my deep commitment to creating a work that fully immerses readers in the thematic and conceptual depths of my narratives. As for the mixtape, I decided to go with a microcassette, which offers 30 minutes per side. It’s quite a rarity these days, as not many people use them anymore. However, Mr. Ted Munk mentioned in one of his blog posts that he exchanges mixtapes with those who take the time to send one his way. Intrigued by this idea, I thought I’d try my hand at creating a tape for him. I chose to fill it with a selection of jazz guitar tracks, believing it aligns well with his musical tastes, at least based on the genres he frequently discusses in his blog. I hope he finds the compilation to his liking.
