How this works:
1. You read/listen to/watch/look at the writing prompt I post here on Fridays. There will be a new prompt every Friday.
2. You write a flash fiction piece of 400 words or less, paste it into the body of an email NO ATTACHMENTS along with your name and location and send it to me at laurareviewsbooks@gmail.com by the following Sunday at 6 pm.
3. I read them and post my favorite five plus my own flash fiction piece based on the prompt the following Monday.
4. At the end of every month I will choose someone who has submitted during that month to receive a free book. I’ll give you some options and mail it out to you.
This week’s prompt let’s you choose. Pick a song, a favorite song, a song you hate, or just a song you always thought would make a great story and write a story based on it. I got this idea from the book Lit Riffs- Writers “Cover” the Songs They Love. For example, Aimmee Bender wrote a story based on the song “The Lobby” by Jane Siberry and David Ebershoff wrote a story based on “Four Last Songs” by Herman Hesse and composer Richard Strauss.
I’m not sure what song I am going to pick, but I’m excited about this prompt. It combines two of my favorite things- music and writing.
When you send in your story, make sure to include the song title and artist.
