The #WordCountPodcast Episode 62 is OPEN for Submissions!
R. B. Wood
A New Year. Let’s hope 2017 is less traumatic, shall we?
It’s time to dust off the recording equipment, practice my vocalizations, and update all my studio software.
It’s time for a new #WordCountPodcast.
You know we have a Facebook page, right? I’m guessing not as we have over 1500 downloads per episode and only 93 followers. To you 93, I say “Huzzah!” Now that I have scared my cat, I will actually post the link for the Word Count Podcast Facebook page. Give it a like?
We get to a 1000 likes this season and one lucky follower with become the subject of a future show! Weird? Yep. Aggressive? Yep. We like it weird and aggressive here.
So, then. Episode 62.
We are going to do things a little bit different to start the year. Yes, we are soliciting stories as usual. But for the January podcast, we ask that you write a story based on TWO (2) criteria:
- A Picture (below)
- Use the month of January in your setting.
So the visual prompt:
Oooooh! What happens next! That, dear sinners, is up to you!
Thinking of writing something for the show? Please do! All submissions are welcome!
