Ah September.<\/p>\n

School buses, and football. Leaves beginning to turn, and Pumpkin Spice.<\/p>\n

And a submission call for Episode 80<\/strong><\/span> of the #WordCountPodcast<\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n

What could be better?<\/p>\n

(That was a rhetorical question. Don’t send me lists. Again.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is this month’s rather creepy photo prompt:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Ready for the School of Hard Knocks, kiddies?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So the title of this month’s show is “Where Have Our Students Gone?<\/strong>” I can’t wait to see what our #irregulars<\/strong> come up with this time!<\/p>\n

The guidelines for submission to the show are below–and anyone can send in a story for consideration<\/strong><\/span>. While I certainly love the stories our Word Count Irregulars supply, I’m always open to new writers and new ideas.<\/p>\n

I would love to hear from you, either with a story submission or via social media. I have a Facebook Page that could use a few \u2018likes.\u2019 The more listeners and contributors we have, the better the shows can be.<\/p>\n

There are over 400 original stories at this point\u2014all free for your listening pleasure, all we ask is for people to help get the word out. Click the link:<\/p>\n
