November Curtain Call
Weeks 13 - 16 Opening Acts🎶
Wow November’s prompts were so good! If you’re new here, congrats, you’ve just stumbled on a massive collection of stories, essays, and poems inspired by some of the greatest songs of all time! Week #16’s, What a Wonderful World, was my favorite. Enjoy🤘
Remember:
Each Tuesday I’ll publish a newsletter with that week’s song prompt—along with a featured writer’s submission from the previous week.
Anyone is then free to run with it! Just add the link to your story or prose in the comments of that week’s newsletter. (This can be done at any time, to any prompt, past or present.)
Subscribers to Stories from the Jukebox, also have a chance to be featured in the following week’s newsletter. And I’ll do my best to give feedback and restack each submission.
There’s always rules:
All forms of prose are welcome, just keep it under 1500 words.
Submissions must be published by midnight on Monday.
Submissions must include a tag/link to this week’s Song Prompt Newsletter embedded within the post.
While anyone is welcome to add their post in the comments at any time—all rules must be followed for a post to be eligible to be featured or shared.
