Episode 79: The Monsters we Make

Description

Hello everyone, and welcome to episode 79 of the Saved as Draft podcast. This week’s episode is packed, and it includes stories written for a Power up Prompt by J.M. Gooding! He also took the time to review all of the entries submitted before Friday night.

Find links to everything from this week’s episode below, and if you’re curious about my next big writing challenge in partnership with The Circus Dragon, you can find all the details about that right here.

Community Spotlight

This week’s community spotlight is on L.G. Wells! L.G. is a wonderful horror author with a range range of work here on Substack. He’s also a fellow AudioMazes author! Learn more about him in the episode, and hear from our favorite hired hitman as well.

Wandering Prompt Winner

This week’s Wandering Prompt winner was Nimita Kaul with her piece The Music in Me. Since Wandering prompts will be on hold during August, I read the full poem on the show.

Check out the full post (and the art she did for it) right here.
