Monthly Theme For June

Finding joy and seeking fun

For the month of June, the theme here at Promptly Written will be

Finding joy and seeking fun!

I don’t know about you, but after the doldrums of Winter and then watching everything come back alive in Spring, I am ready for some fun in the sun of Summer. June has always been a special month for me for three reasons — 1) Father’s Day in the US. I had a special bond with my dad and loved showering him with love and presents on Father’s Day. 2) My birthday! Yep I am a June baby and just barely squeezed into the sign of Gemini. 3) Summer Solstice! Long days and short nights. Tons of sun. Endless moments to find joy and seek out some fun times. Summer, baby!

Let’s see if we cannot strike up some amazing stories this month with our Monthly Theme and Writing Sparks!

How To Use Monthly Themes

1. Write specific poems, fiction, essays, or articles related to the theme — try using the Writing Sparks.
2. Choose a Daily or Weekly prompt, or select a Writing Spark, and center your piece around the theme.
3. Remember to tag your work appropriately and also use ‘Monthly Theme’ as one of your tags if your work is centered around the theme.

Writing Sparks

1. Write a poem or essay about a favorite summer vacation.
2. Write a poem or piece of fiction around the theme — Fun in the Sun.
3. Write a poem, piece of fiction, or an essay on — Music that reminds you of Summer. This could be a genre of music or one particular song. If music isn’t your thing, write about a book or movie that reminds you of Summer.
4. Write a poem, piece of fiction, or an essay on — A Summer Fling

Bonus Spark — Write an essay or poem honoring your Father or a Father-Figure.

Have a great June everyone! Take the time to find joy and seek out some fun this month. And please, do not stress yourselves out by attempting to keep up with the writing prompts here at PW. They will be available whenever the inspiration strikes!
