Weekend Challenge - Writing Playlists!

[skargasm.livejournal.com]

Writing Playlists – 21 – 23 April 2023



When I’m writing, I listen to my ever-growing writing playlist. Some of the songs help me write action, some romantic declarations whilst others are for breakups and heart-ache – this playlist is currently 225 songs long and lasts for over 14 hours!

For the weekend challenge, I’m going to give you a title from a song in my writing playlist – all you have to do is choose a number from 1 – 225. I will then give you the title and artist of the song, and you go forth and create. You can go and find the song on YouTube to have a listen and see if it inspires you; you can riff off the title; you can find the lyrics and see if they speak to you.

Don’t let the image fool you – this playlist goes from Brett Young singing country to Idris Elba rapping with Stefflon Don to Maroon 5 singing about summer! It’s an eclectic little mix and hopefully the song you get will work for you!

One veto allowed – all in the name of creativity. So, who’s in? Just comment to this post and I’ll provide you with the song. Make 5 icons, write at least 100 words or the equivalent and I’ll make you a little participation banner.
