While the new site is still a work in progress (I FINALLY got past posts imported from the old database…they all need to have format updates and I need to build\u00a0separate pages blah, blah, blah…), I thought of a new prompt for the next show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, I was on the train home to Boston from NYC when I came up with three little word to drive out esteemed, wonderful and amazingly talented authors (the “Word Count Irregulars”) who participate in our show.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those three words? \u00a0Hold onto your horses…<\/p>\n

As we continue our march toward the seminal Episode 50 I\u2019m soliciting ideas for the big show\u2026so send me your thoughts on that.\u00a0 Should it be a \u201cBest of?\u201d\u00a0 Should we include Author interviews?\u00a0 Should everyone record their stories naked (Like I always do)?\u00a0 Who knows\u2026email me<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0tweet me<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the meantime, for those unfamiliar with the show\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The Word Count Podcast is truly one of my joys. I direct, produce, write and host the show\u2014and also come up with the various themes our writers\u2014The \u201cWord Count Irregulars\u201d\u2014use to create unique and brilliant stories.<\/p>\n

All for the listener and lovers of great storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are no endorsements\u2026no paid stories.\u00a0 It\u2019s all done for the love of the written word.\u00a0 And downloads are always free.\u00a0 Always.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing I ask is a little help via social media to point folks at the show.<\/span><\/p>\n
