\"AAAgun\"I love trying to guess what readers of my blog and fans of The Word Count<\/i> will pick for each show\u2019s theme.  For this week we had quite a few interesting choices, but one (as it always does) seemed to be the favorite and it wasn\u2019t the theme I expected:<\/span><\/p>\n

One. Two. Three. He caressed each bullet in the palm of his hand before slipping it into its chamber…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re gonna get some very interesting stories from this prompt!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what IS The Word Count<\/i> and how do you participate?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I put together the podcast to feature writers (new and “old hands,” famous and just starting) as a way to get YOUR writing out there.  The show is simple; based on a prompt, you create an original short story, then record yourself reading it.  That’s it.<\/span><\/p>\n

No ads, no hard sell.  Just a podcast with great stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I do it?  It’s a hobby.  And I’ve been meeting wonderful authors through the show.  It’s all about networking and friendships.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show has been downloaded over 10,000 times since it started, an average of<\/span><\/p>\n

about 500 per episode.  Listen to past shows HERE<\/a> or you can download\/subscribe via iTunes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy, fun and you’ll pick up a few more fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So…you’ll be needing the guidelines then.  Right.<\/span><\/p>\n
