I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s May already! Where did the time go?<\/p>\n

On the personal writing front, I\u2019m working feverishly to tweak four short stories all with submission dates in the next 30 days or so. I\u2019m plowing\u00a0through all the college requirements so I can hit the fall semester running, and I\u2019m prepping for Readercon in July.<\/p>\n

Along with those things, life stuff (like finding mold in the house, getting that sorted, having a new roof put on and visits from my children and my father-in-law, ongoing rehab) is happening, as it does for all of us. It\u2019s gonna be a busy rest of year.<\/p>\n

That all being said, I\u2019m enjoying reading the Dark Tower<\/em> series by Stephen King and rereading American Gods<\/em> by Neil Gaiman. And, of course, I have episodes of the #wordcountpodcast<\/strong> to devise.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to the true purpose of this post. We\u2019ll be opening up Episode 66 for submissions this weekend. But first, if you wouldn\u2019t mind, give the show\u2019s Facebook page a like, and get your friends to check it out as well. There are nearly 400 original stories at this point\u2014all free for your listen pleasure, all we ask is for people to help get the word out. Click the link:<\/p>\n

So, then. Episode 66.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m supplying the picture this time around. I took this off a boat in Boston harbor near Georges Island where the missus and I go a few times a year with friends.<\/p>\n

I feel this picture has many stories to tell, so I ask out Irregulars (as well as any aspiring writers who would like to join us) for their\u00a0own take on this scene. Include the month of May<\/strong><\/span> as well.<\/p>\n

What happens next, dear sinners, is entirely up to you!<\/p>\n
