\"Fire\"Oh I think it\u2019s time for another podcast!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Word Count is not only open to this contributing crazy-people I call \u2018The Irregulars.\u201d  It\u2019s open to ANY writer, as long as you follow the guidelines below.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before the guidelines, what shall our theme be?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently 12 degrees here in Boston (that\u2019s -11 to you Celsius lovers).  So to help stay warm, I\u2019ve picked a theme that brings to mind toasty thoughts:<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was in the dim light of the fire that I saw\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So there it is.  Got those creative juices flowing?  Have at it then!<\/span><\/p>\n

But first, allow me to provide a little background on the Word Count for those of you not familiar with the podcast.<\/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 23,000 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 HERE<\/a> or you can download\/subscribe via iTunes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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