I wrote a blog post on Tuesday about the new phenomenon of AudioBoo, and how much I’m enjoying figuring it out. Well now there’s an extra reason to get on board, as Benjamin Solah’s #SpokenSunday hashtag gets into full swing! Benjamin’s written a post over on the Spoken Sunday blog to explain in greater detail, but in a nutshell, Spoken Sunday combines the concept of the #FridayFlash tag with the ‘open mic’ quality of AudioBoo.
It’s my intention to write a short, 100-200 word flash fiction with the sole purpose of posting it as a spoken word Boo every Sunday, but this week I was very tired so I decided instead of go back through my archives of material. I’ve chosen The Crossing, which was originally published on Gloom Cupboard in January 2009. I’m still very proud of it, and I thought it would be a good flash to dust off, and give an airing for Spoken Sunday. You can find it here.
I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you get involved with Spoken Sunday!
going to head on over to Bens site now and listen to them.. its a bit awesome, and a heap scary to read your own work out….
my first one ( unedited and just published straight away!!) is here

Thanks for the awesome plug Icy!
I think your shorter things really fit for the medium.
No problem, Ben! I’ve often preferred writing short flashes because longer pieces occasionally make me struggle to fill a word count. That’s perfect for AudioBoo’s five minute maximum!
