Weekly Writing Prompt:

Do you listen to music when you write?

Is it instrumental? Is it classical? Is it thumping club bangers? Write about the soundtrack that inspires your writing life. And, if you don’t listen to music, describe the sounds you do hear when writing.

Submit your response by May 28. 2023 by emailing it directly to info@adirondackcenterforwriting.org. You may copy your text into the body of an email or attach it in a word document. All creative writing responses will be shared on @adkctr4writing and adirondackcenterforwriting.org. Note: You are expected to edit your own submission before sending it.
