The Irregular Sloword BirthMonth Festival.

This is Festival with the snappy title comes along every summer. Usually in August, for August is my BirthMonth. Submission windows vary depending on my mood, travel plans, other considerations such as expected influx, boredom levels <insert reason of choice>.

Check dates in the poster at right of this page for latest dates.

And every year Sloword, the blog, has the distinct drudg..honour of hosting guests on its quite purply website, during The Irregular SloWord BirthMonth Festival.
