The #wordcountpodcast Episode 68 is now open for submissions!
R. B. Wood
Been a long and trying month. My capacity to deal with issues is so incredibly diminished that sometimes the basics are all I can get through in a day.
But enough of my #PityParty. You are here to read about, and see, the prompt for episode 68 of the #WordCountPodcast!
First the prompt:
This is a photo I took while hiking in Zion National Park in Utah in 2014. The shot is the beginning of the Narrows hike, previous hikers sometimes left their walking sticks for future hikers. That’s for your reference. The prompt will be the pic and the month of July. Make magic!
