Hello Penny Pub Writers!

Whew! We are past Valentine’s Day, and I appreciated all your submissions about ‘Love at First Sight.’ Our next prompt is near and dear to my heart. I often say that I was born with the heart of a rockstar but with no talent to go with it! I look forward to your responses!

If you’re a new writer, I’d ask that you pay close attention to the guideline reminders below.

Lastly, please keep in mind that we are looking for engagers. Please make sure to read, clap, highlight, and comment on the other responses. Personally, I am enjoying getting to know everyone through both responses and comments, and I hope you are enjoying that too.

Current prompt

Tell us about the role music plays (or doesn’t play) in your life.

If you love music, tell us what kind and why you love it so much. Recount an embarrassing moment where music played a part in the scene you’re recreating for us (a bad date, a horrible experience during High School band practice, etc). Hate country music? Tell us why! Did you have an amazing concert experience? We want to hear about it! Is there a love song that represents you and your partner? Share its meaning with us!

If you are neurodivergent, please consider sharing how music helps or hinders you. If you’re a queer person, share with us the band or singer that you think supports the queer community well.
