Halfway point, bebe! I mentioned I'd give a description of the song prompt here. This exercise is one of my favorites for getting started. You have your writing gear ready, you play a song (I've got a list going for the podcast or you can choose any song you like), and you write for the length of that song. You could be inspired by a lyric, a word, an image, the feeling of the piece. Whatever sparks for you, write. You only have til the end of the song to get something down! At the end of the song, you move on. 

Here's today's song: "Keep Me in Your Heart" by The Wailin' Jennys. Here's the link to the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0U16u8aKdIrHoFugoWzRec?si=fed0133ccfe84396
