I warned you all.

I warned you that a new prompt was coming for "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" 

No one believed me.

Well, here it is.

The One-Line Lyric Challenge  [13+]
A musically-inspired challenge with writing prompts posted twice a month. Prizes included!
by Anni Pon


Song prompt: "Papaoutai" 

I think this is the first one in a language that isn't English! That can be a little tricky to pull off for a lyric challenge, but now that I've branched out to include whole song prompts, this probably won't be the last.

We also have the Lyric prompt: "Burning Down the House" 

Enjoy and happy writing!

The upbeat music and dancing in the video for "Papaoutai" is well done... but disturbing at the same time. Hard to resolve the music with the meaning behind the lyrics without being moved.

Glad to see a post that isn't Anglo-centric.
Birthday week may be over, but the party still continues over at:

Come on over! The party don't stop until we say so.

Second prompt for September will be coming soon.

A beautiful cat. Looks like he is magical.
Another person in the lab was out last week with Covid. I took a test on Tuesday because I was feeling a bit warm, but my thermometer was out of batteries so I couldn't check my temperature at the time.

After working the rest of the week as usual, finally got another thermometer today and just took my temp and I do have a low-grade fever.

Test is still negative, but I don't think I'll be going into lab tomorrow...

HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY WDC!!

To celebrate, we have a fun little cover over at "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" 

Lyric prompt: "Burning Down the House" 

Go take a quick listen, even if you don't plan to enter!

Keep in mind that this prompt is open until the end of the month, so I understand if you're a bit overwhelmed right now and want to wait until after birthday week for things settle down a little. I know I am.

I'll send out another reminder when the festivities are over.

 

Check out the entries we got last month:

*CoinGold* "Not Again"  by Solace.Bring
*CoinGold* "Fingerpainting fingerprints..."  by Kåre Enga in Montana
*CoinGold* "The Hand That I Was Dealt"  by Solace.Bring
*CoinGold* "I am a Dragonfish"  by Angelica Weatherby-Fallishere
*CoinGold* "slow dancing with death"  by AddledThinker
*CoinGold* "I am a field "  by Kåre Enga in Montana

I think this is a record for the most entries I've gotten in a month!
I'm continually impressed by the quality and creativity of the entries.

Keep it up!

I submitted one. One goal today is to finish editing and submit the other. I really loved "I am a town".
Kåre Enga in Montana - Glad you like it! You still have until midnight tomorrow to finish!
Here to spread a little bit of positivity on the news feed today.
(Not too positive, as I'll be taking another Covid test tomorrow.)

Thanks for the reminder. I'm behind on August contests although I've been writing. .
Fingers crossed for your Covid test! *HeartB*
Thanks for the well-wishes. Test was negative, so looks like I'll be going back to work tomorrow.
Well. Majorly exposed to Covid in the lab. My lab mate has been sick for a few days and just tested positive.
Apparently, this strain isn't showing up on tests until well after symptoms.

It's probably too early to test, but I had a LOT of contact with her while she was sick.

So I guess my weekend plans are cancelled...

At least you are being responsible about it. *Heart*
Schnujo's in Alabama - Just move them forward for a big bit.
Woke up this morning with a sore throat.

"Note: Well. Majorly exposed to Covid in the lab. My lab..."
Maybe I didn't escape the plague after all...

What's this? Anni wrote something new? Can't be.

 
Express it in Eight Collection  [E]
A collection of 8-line poems written for the Express it in Eight activity.
by Anni Pon


You can probably tell that the summer has been rough. Given that the last time I wrote anything on here was a single 8-line poem back in June. I'm just not one of those people who can be creative when struggling or turn it into art. I just... can't write.

Here's hoping the mental health will improve as Fall approaches.

It usually does, even if life doesn't.

I can write when I'm depressed but wasn't productive in Thailand. *sigh* The Muse...
"Mama said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this, my momma said!" I read it and left a note. I encourage you to keep on keeping on. Fall is about a month away.

It is time.

What time?

Taco Time!

No wait. That was on Tuesday.


Now it's time for a song prompt over at:

Song prompt: "I am a Town" 

And don't you dare forget about the other prompt this month.
Lyric prompt: "All Around the World (The Myth of Fingerprints)" 
No entries for August yet.

For song prompts, which are more open ended, I might start making a couple of (optional) suggestions for directions you could go in.
Just to get the creative juices flowing.

Everyone loves the taste of fresh-squeezed creative juice.

Especially paired with a taco.

"I am a Town" is beautiful and moving.
Kåre Enga in Montana - I thought so too. Glad you like it.

Just a little update: The ankle has improved enough to properly walk on now.
In fact, I managed to walk over a mile on it a few days ago. I'll be competing in the Olympics 200 meter finals in no time.


Just a little reminder:

Lyric prompt is up for August! The song prompt will be coming soon.

Hello Debby. Nice to meet you.

Thank you for the flood warnings. How thoughtful.

You can leave now.

Power outages in lots of places. Hopefully Debby won't torment you Anni Pon

*Witch*
Well, I slipped in a puddle playing pickleball in the 90º rain yesterday and hurt my ankle.

Nope, that's not a joke.


Guess I'm spending the rest of the weekend stuck on the couch...

Owwww! Ice, heat, ice and elevation.
Sounds like it really put you in a pickle.
Robert Waltz - I wouldn’t say it’s a big dill.

We have a new lyric prompt up for August:

Happy writing!

Absolutely don't know the song. I'll see what I can do with the prompt. Whatever I come up with isn't likely to fit the music though. If not, I'll find another melody.
Kåre Enga in Montana - Fitting the music is not a requirement for the challenge! In fact, especially for the lyric prompts, I encourage getting creative and doing something totally different than the song.

I thought maybe I'd start shouting out the entries at the end of the month on the newsfeed to get them more traffic.
For those who entered the challenge recently, do you like that idea?

Please email me if you don't want your entry publicly shouted out.
