Hi there. This is Laurence Simon of the 100 Word Stories Podcast at oneadayuntilthedayidie.com.
Every week, I post a topic for the Weekly Challenge, where you come up with the stories and I collect them up and share them.
Write a 100 word story on that topic. Then, send it in an email to isfullofcrap (at) gmail.com with the subject line of WEEKLY CHALLENGE.
Include the following:
- The text of your story.
- A topic or topics for future Weekly Challenges.
- A website where people can learn more about you and your writing, include the URL to that website.
- A recording of your story. Be sure to introduce yourself to the audience.
I put the episode together on Sunday morning. But, if you need more time, I can put your story up on the feed in a separate post.
Good luck, and as always… keep it brief.
