~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the April Challenge! Laura here. We saw some wonderful posts for the first challenge in our Year of Music, and I can't wait to see what all of you come up with next.
We understand that many of you might be participating in the April A-Z Challenge this month. Feel free to combine the two challenges by basing your entry on both the music prompt and the letter of the day you post. We've seen many successful entries over the years that do just that.
From our MailChimp email:
We welcome all writers whatever your level -
- Still learning your craft? This is where you can get feedback and encouragement.
- Want to try out a WIP on us? Publish an extract.
- Want to continue a series? This is for you.
- Just adore writing to prompts in a supportive writing community? Go ahead
- Want to win a prize? 3 on offer. Go for it!

Please Note:
CRITIQUES
This is a most vital part of participation, but it has also proven to be why folks walk away from participation.
Please be courteous with your words!
For the WEP, a critique is:
Constructive feedback or positive reinforcement of the writer while helping reign in problems or giving helpful suggestions.
The point is to be helpful, not hurtful.
The WEP is a place where writers can confidently share their work without fear of harsh words or biting feedback. No matter what the choice is by the author of the type of critique.
Check the Menu Items Under The Critique for more information!
***
Please remember to include a blurb/tagline with your story!
Short and sweet. A tagline doesn't have to tell the story. It captures the theme. Go on, give it a try!!!!

THE JUNE CHALLENGE
From our CHALLENGES 2022 PAGE
This month's prompt is based on Please Read the Letter by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - a break up song and a moving plea for understanding at the termination of a relationship. Neither of these musicians need an introduction of course, both have umpteen awards to their names individually. The album Raising Sand where the track is included is a platinum with more than a million sold.
There could be many possible ways to treat this prompt. Who's going to write that letter? And who's it addressed to? Will you let it remain a letter or update it to a text? Or even a voicemail message? And most importantly, what's it going to be about - what's it going to say?
Happy writing!
