On Saturday, my dad informed me that my Granny passed away. She was suffering with dementia and her condition went downhill after my grampa passed and could no longer care for her. She was a great and strong woman, and I have many fond memories traveling through Europe with both of them.

This month's lyric prompt is dedicated to my late Granny D.

Lyric Prompt: "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" Open in new Window.

Of course, this was the day before a big presentation / interview for a great opportunity.
But the show must go on. And go on, it did.

I crushed it, as the kids say.

Time stops for no one and nothing.

Lyric Prompt: "Everything is Everything" Open in new Window.
Song Prompt: "Tragic Kingdom" Open in new Window.

June has been quite a month... the highest highs and lowest lows. Big life changes the last few days.
But that's an update for another day.

I submitted one but I despised the other song. Next month begins tomorrow. *Bigsmile*
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - Despised is a strong word. Well, they aren't all to everyone's tastes. I'm open to feedback. If anyone else mentions that they don't like that one, I'll steer away from similar artists and songs for this challenge.
Anni Pon Author Icon - I rarely feel so strong an aversion. When the message, the music or a grating voice leave me with nothing left to say... better to say nothing. Music appreciation is definitely personal! I really liked the other song.
Rejoice! A timely new writing prompt is live over at:

8 entries: this means you are doing something write right. Remember how it felt trying to get this challenge going? It took time. It is valued.
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - Thanks Kare! It was a bit hard to get it off the ground, but it's picked up some steam lately. So much steam, in fact, that I may need to find a way to help fund the challenge. A good problem to have!

I recommend this challenge. I don't think I've missed a prompt for months, and they've opened up genres I'm not as comfortable with.

Have a go!
Maybe I actually wrote something.

Hey there. New Song Prompt for May over at:

The One-Line Lyric Challenge Open in new Window. [13+]
A musically-inspired challenge with writing prompts posted twice a month. Prizes included!
by Anni Pon Author Icon

Song Prompt: "Desperado" Open in new Window. (new)
Lyric Prompt: "Spider Web" Open in new Window.

Just a quick note that I changed the previous lyric prompt to make first bit optional. I think the wording might be too limiting otherwise. If you still want to include the whole line, or already submitted an entry, that's fine. This just makes it a bit more flexible and easier to work with.

You're allowed to edit your entry at any time, but whatever version I see at the end of the month is the version that will be reviewed.

Make your momma proud by entering:

Lyric Prompt: "Spider Web" Open in new Window. (new)

This challenge has really taken off lately. Last month was the most entries I've ever gotten.
It may take me a day or two to get through them.

A big thank you to everyone who entered!

Your prizes will be coming.

Something of an update.

You might have noticed that I started "The Bradbury" Open in new Window. and posted a single short story... and nothing since.
I am now 17 weeks behind. Maybe 18?

The truth is, I am having a hard time. The world is awful, my country is imploding, my life is at a complete standstill and I'm a couple of months away from not being able to pay rent. I'm in the middle of the most difficult life transition period I've ever been though, with no idea how long it will last. And I'm not the only one.

I should have a lot to say. I don't.
So forgive me if writing and creativity isn't at the top of my priorities.

I will continue to run "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" Open in new Window. for as long as I'm able, but I wouldn't expect much else.

Ouch... my nerves are a bit sensitive this morning and "No Gringo" really hits me. I wasn't familiar with this protest song. Now I am.
Really recommend this. So good to spread writing wings.
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - Sorry, maybe a warning is in order next time?
S 🤦 Author Icon - Thank you so much for the ringing endorsement!

Lyric prompt: "Everything In Its Own Time" Open in new Window.

Both prompts are due at the end of the month.

The next one will be lighter, I promise.
It's just been a heavy month. Or four.

Just heard there was a shooting over the weekend at a big event I used to attend every year at my alma mater just blocks away from where I lived. 3 people injured, fortunately I don't think anyone was killed.

This comes two days before the Day of Remembrance at the university I was working for, where 32 people were killed in a massacre in 2007.

Enough already.

Hmm… now that I’m finally caught up in Promptly Poetry, I could take a look at some other prompts for once. *Laugh*
Is there no minimum or maximum? And each month, they have the option to write either a poem or a story? Sounds cool.
