IN THE STUDIO

I've had this long-term project going on for some time now -- over 
twenty-five years, in fact, and it's finally reaching a conclusion of 
some sort.  I'm recording an audio drama right now that I first wrote 
back in the early eighties.  This is not the sole iteration, as it began 
life as a short story.  Then I wrote a stage adaptation of it, and now, 
finally, a dramatic audio production.  Each version required it's own 
structure and script form, and I'm thinking this version is the tightest 
and most enjoyable of them all.  It's also the last one I ever intend to 
do. Over the first few years, I showed the short story to a number of 
people.  No one ever seemed to "get" it, or, if they did, they simply 
didn't like it.  Fair enough.  Certainly no publisher ever took an 
interest, despite several attempts on my part.  Again, that's just fine.  
Later on, I showed the stage play version to others, with much the same 
reaction, save for one or two folks who seemed somewhat impressed.  I 
would have tried to launch even a modest production of it myself, but 
there were technical challenges involved that I simply wasn't able to 
overcome, or didn't feel I could (money being one of them).  Ah, 
well...back on the shelf with it.


Flash forward a decade or two, and I'm an audiocaster.  The 
Interwebbygophernets are now available for me to distribute my work 
through, and I've gained the bare minimum skills needed to do an audio 
version of the story in a manner that I can more-or-less feel okay 
about.  In other words, I can finally produce and publish it myself.  If 
it finds a moderate audience, that'd be great.  If not, that'd be great 
too.  I will have released it for general consumption at long last (with 
delicious Creative Commons goodness, no less), and that strikes me as a 
fine place to let it rest. 


Be on the lookout, gentle reader, for news about "Blue Heaven" in the 
coming months (I'm shooting for the end of January, but you know how 
that goes).
