Get Your Podcast On
What's the Song Prompt?
One of my favorite ways to start a writing session is with a song. I have a writing playlist with music I am inspired by that I'll set to random and play when I'm ready to write. For the podcast, I've created a playlist with the random selection for that day's session. You can follow the playlist on Spotify so it'll be in your library, or you can look the songs up wherever you get your music. You can also choose your own songs if you don't want to use what I'm sharing.
The point of the exercise is to get your pen and imagination moving. You have only the length of the song to write. So have your inspiration feelers out for a lyric, a word, an image, or the mood of the piece once it starts playing. Whatever sparks for you, write. At the end of the song, you move on.
