\"Broadstairs\"I was contemplating prompts for the next Word Count Podcast when Word Count Irregular, Matthew Munson posted a photo from an stroll he took early one morning near his home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at the photo off to your right.  Does it not smack of writing possibilities?  Where is that strange green light coming from?  Whose foot steps do I hear behind me?  What has the glowing eyes at the end of the alley?<\/span><\/p>\n

So, dear sinners\u2026we now have our prompt for episode 37 of the show:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was out for an early morning stroll when\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Word Count is open to submissions to anyone.  And I want to be clear here.  I affectionately call those who contribute more than once to the show the \u201cWord Count Irregulars.\u201d  Submissions to the show are absolutely open to ALL artists out there.  I have had poems, songs and rants submitted that have made it onto the podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n

My point is this.  If you write and want to expand your audience for free, this is a really fun way to do it.  Just follow the submission guidelines and get writing!<\/span><\/p>\n

But first, allow me to provide a little background.<\/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 and then record yourself reading it.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s it. No ads, no hard sell.  Just a podcast with great stories. I rely on the contributing writers and fans to promote the hell out of it and we are over 20,000 downloads at this point.<\/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

Listen to past shows for FREE HERE <\/a><\/strong>or you can download\/subscribe via iTunes<\/a> <\/strong>(also free).<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy, fun and you’ll pick up a few more fans. So…now you’ll be needing the guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n
