The #WordCountPodcast Episode 65 is Now Open for Submissions!
R. B. Wood
For April, the picture selected for our prompt was from our own Bill Kirton, Word Count Irregular par excellence.
But before revealing the prompt, I must beg you all to get your friends to like the #WordCountPodcast Facebook page. I’ll be posting some new content there shortly, exclusively for fans of the show who liked the page.
Telling you what I’ll be posting would be playing fair. Stay tuned!
But here’s the link to the page. Spread the word won’t you? We have a goal of 1000 likes this season!
So, then. Episode 65.
Bill sent in the following:
I thought it was beautiful, a little haunting, and perfect for writers to sink their teeth into. You must also use the month of April in your setting.
What happens next, dear sinners, is entirely up to you!
Thinking of writing something for the show? Please do! All submissions are welcome!

THE DETAILS: The work must be an original story based on the picture above and the month of “April.”
Do NOT exceed SEVEN minutes.
As this is a podcast, I need to receive a file of YOU, a friend or multiple friends reading (singing or otherwise performing) your work. MP3 FORMAT ONLY, and please attach your MP3 file to an e-mail or contact me for a Dropbox link.
Your submission MUST also contain the following:

I do reserve the right NOT to post your submission, but will communicate that to you should it be the case. I add the ‘Explicit’ tag to the ‘cast, so if your story uses adult themes or language that’s ok—but it should be necessary for the story.
***NOTE: I will NOT accept stories that are discriminatory in ANY WAY (whether it be by race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, etc.) or that include rape. ***
Peace
