Theme of the Month: Music

May 2017 (Music)

Another month, another batch of prompts to get the pens rolling! Set your muse to scaling decibels with the ‘Music’ of your choice. Remember, submissions in response to prompts from all previous theme collections are welcome as always.

  1. “Music is the universal language of mankind.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
  2. Put on your favourite song/artist/album and write what comes to mind.
  3. Rhythm.
  4. “There are some things you can never lose once you find them—your voice is one of them.” Write a short story containing the aforementioned quote.

Detailed below are the guidelines to be adhered to when submitting via the website’s Contact/Submissions tab:

  • All manners of written submissions (prose, poetry, short stories, opinion pieces, etc.) are welcome in response to prompts — unless otherwise specified in any given prompt.
  • Poetry submissions should not exceed 150 lines in length.
  • Submissions of short stories should fall in a designated range of 1,500 – 3,000 words.
  • Aside from the above-stated content, all written entries of other sorts should not exceed 1,500 words.

Best wishes,
