Jerome Wrote:Just an idea - but a short story for radio combined with the right kind of background music could be an idea. So many people 'watch' music these days. It limits their imagination. People prefer not to think - they want to be force fed everything. Many radio programs use music to accompany a story, but it's normally existing music as opposed to music specifically created for a particular story. And there's one place people can't watch music (or shouldn't be doing so anyway) - in their cars. I still think radio is an extremely powerful medium. I don't know if you have ever tried audio books. I listen to them quite a lot. They force you to imagine the scene instead of having it presented to you - as in a movie or TV programme. That's one idea anyway - I will come up with more. The trick is to start with a small project and see how it pans out.
BTW - I had to look up loquacious as well! You learn something every day.
You guys have no idea how happy you make me when you tell me you look stuff up! I'm grinning ear to ear!
As far as your idea goes, Jerome, I love it! What a fantastic idea! Radio shows used to have music to accompany the story, why not a short story in audio form! I have to admit that I have not been a huge fan of audio books (*cough*controlfreak*cough*), but I'm trying to give them a chance. I eased into the audio scene with the Harry Potter books because I loved the man who read them (his name escapes me right now). I'm working up to others. *laughs*
Cheers!

Everyone has an Angel: a Guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day, old man. Next day, little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they're not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from our heart. Reminding that it's us: it's everyone of us who holds power over the world we create. -Sweet Pea
