The Word Count Podcast - Photograph

I've participated again in the Word Count Podcast. I hope you'll visit the site and listen to all the stories, but if you don't have time, or you're just curious to read it, here is my submission for the latest episode, #29. It is a Blue Moon House story! I hope you like it.


I wandered through the scenes, taking only a quick note of each. The familiar mixed with the extreme, giving anyone unaccustomed to the lifestyle a sampling of where things began and where they could go.

The man strapped down to the pommel horse cried out as a cane connected with his thighs. His ass cheeks already glowed red. His black hair glistened as sweat trickled through. What caught my eye, however, was the red rope securing his wrists behind his back. It was a fine blend of silk and elastic, perfect for tightening as he strained without ever cutting into his skin. His wrists would be unblemished. Sadly, his backside could not claim the same.

Podcast of the Day

Instead of a blog, I thought I'd recommend a podcast. Writing Excuses features three novelists and one webcomic artist. All have experience crafting stories and they have a lot of advice as a result. The blog has a slight SciFi/Fantasy bend, but in general, their advice can be transferred to all forms of writing. If you've never given it a listen, try Mary's Outline, a two-parter where they break down an outline Mary Robinette Kowal wrote for a middle grade novel.
