You kept the prose balanced with reality and that jazzy style you have about you.<br /><br />Excellent work, Anthony.<br /><br />(I don't know anything about reading aloud in audio, but I loved the music. Your pacing seemed fine to me, I'd rather not have had the sound effects though.)Jodi MacArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373591664178281529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475969042192089612.post-31264945033330922512009-11-12T13:50:45.060-05:002009-11-12T13:50:45.060-05:00This rocks, man.

The piano in the background added to my image of it being read in a smoke-filled coffee house, with an audience of beatniks nodding and murmuring, "yeah man, we feel your pain."Madam Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136166772469538966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475969042192089612.post-4048058831522280642009-11-12T11:38:16.929-05:002009-11-12T11:38:16.929-05:00Love this!

I appreciated the layering of sound with the words, music and sfx.

Often times, it's a combination of tone, appearance, rhythm and pace. <br /><br />I find that while there are no rules per se, I write the stanzas (and rewrite many of them as well ;)) with an innate gut feeling. <br /><br />I dunno...
