lol sorry, I translated a French expression. Sometimes it's about the same in English, sometimes not.
"to not loose the North(ern?)" ("ne pas perdre le nord") means you don't forget your goal, you always think about the final goal.
You always ask for the audiobook project ^_^
Don't worry, I don't reproach you anything ^_^ just funny to see you ask everytimes lol (but I know why, you need many people for this project, and I'd like to help if I could... but I can't =_=')
