Maybe you have absolutely no idea where to start but have always wanted to try being a writer. Maybe you want to write the great American novel or you thought you'd write a poem about hidden life of a grain of sand. Maybe you just need a little inspiration to get you started or you find yourself just a little stuck. Maybe you find yourself trying to break out of your comfort zone or mix things up at work. Whatever your reason for landing here, practicing a little creativity can impact your life in ways you didn't expect.
But let's be honest. Creativity is a muscle and it needs exercise to work properly. That's where this series comes in. With any luck, this series will get your creative juices flowing and get you thinking in ways you hadn't before. A new prompt will appear once or twice a week. It's up to you what you do with it.

Writing Prompt for June 22th, 2021:
Today's prompt and leadup comes curtesy of a private blog primarily devoted to writing prompts, Prompted to Story. They say music feeds the soul. In my case, it feeds the soul and then get's stuck in my soul's teeth. ... Bad joke. Sorry. Here's the basic idea:
Plenty of writers use music in the background to help their writing. Some will even share a playlist that they used to write a particular book with their readers. Maybe it's time to try it out too. Maybe not. But music does affect people. So pay attention to how it affects you or your character. What emotion does it evoke? Does the song bring up certain memories or inspire any cravings? Does it mellow you out or strike fear into your heart? Energize you or put you to sleep?
So here is your prompt for the week:
Listen to some music while you write and let it shape how your writing emerges. Or write a piece in which the affect music has on a person plays a central role.
