August 2025 prompts
In honor of Ozzie Osbourne’s passing. I felt compelled to create a prompt that is inspired by your favorite music.
1. Pull up your favorite play list, mix tape, mp3 player, ipod, cassette tape or just turn on the radio in your car and pick your favorite song title, lyric or inspirational tune. Write a short piece in any point of view and style based on that song. As an example from Ozzie: “Crazy Train” could be a story about a sentient train that uses AI to take over the world. OR it could be a tale about some insane asylum inmates who escape and take over a transcontinental railroad. Your music and your choice.
2. Maybe you are not inspired by music - in that case, pick your favorite tv show and choose a secondary character. Make that character the main protagonist in your story. For example: in Seinfeld - Kramer is a secondary character - what kind of tale could he tell?
3. Finally, think of your favorite musician or composer from any era. IF they were a fictional character, based on their music, what story would you tell starring them?
Enjoy!
