Rothko Red
At long last this blog will be springing into action! You can thank Garage Band for simplifying the process. I'm still a novice, but I'm not doing anything more complicated than recording my voice into the built-in mic in my MacBook (and trying to squelch some of the ambient noise).So my first podcast reading is "Rothko Red", a flash fiction piece about a woman who's trying to find solace among the Rothko paintings at the Tate Modern. It's under submission, so fingers crossed. Such short pieces seem ideal for recording here, so you will be seeing more of them. Let me know how you like it (technically as well as aesthetically).

Ooooh, cool! I get to be the first one. *g*
Nice to hear the story out loud, and the last line works even better that way.
Arrrr!
Thanks, Chuckie, yarrrrrr!
Glad you liked the reading -- it does help to give that last line an extra twist.
I find the pace peaceful, calm and simultaneously chilling. There is so much sanity behind the insanity.
I can't help but wonder what a small act of kindness did to that little girl. Freaky.
Terrific reading.
Thanks! I'm pleased that it seems both peaceful and chilling. It's one of my favorite spots in the world to sit, but even that grim beauty might not be enough some times.
The little girl years later -- that could be another story...
