The #wordcountpodcast Episode 67 is now open for submissions!
R. B. Wood
The new format this year seems to be going over pretty well. Certainly our #WordCountIrregulars seem to enjoy writing for the new visual prompt. And the advanced format for the show seems to be going over well with our listeners.
We would love more in the way of both authors and listeners.
Because the #wordcountpodcast is a free show, and due to the fact that I have thus far self-funded the show, we have a small but loyal following. The “loyal” stems from the quality of the stories my wonderful author friends (the “irregulars”) contribute each month.
If you are reading this, we would love to hear from you, either with a story submission or via social media. We have a Facebook Page that we have a goal of reaching a thousand likes this year. So give it a like or share it with your friends. The more listeners and contributors we have, the better the shows will be. Perhaps we can get those pesky advertisers to notice us–I will gladly trade some advertising space to receive monies to pay our authors!
There are nearly 400 original stories at this point—all free for your listen pleasure, all we ask is for people to help get the word out. Click the link:

So, then. Episode 67.
Our prompt is the picture below and the month of June:
“Summer Concert at the Beach”
What happens next, dear sinners, is entirely up to you!
All submissions are welcome!
