Okay, last week, you got to pick a song lyric you really liked, and you wrote a story based on that bit of song poetry. Right? Right.<\/p>\n
Cool.<\/p>\n
This week, I’m giving you the lyric.<\/p>\n
It’s from Sza’s “Drew Barrymore.”<\/p>\n
(Lyrics here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Video here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.)<\/p>\n The lyric in question is this line, the opening line the song:<\/p>\n “Why is it so hard to accept the party is over?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The song has a lot of great lines, but that’s the one we’re going with. Take from it whatever inspiration you choose. Base a theme on it. Make it literal or figurative. Any genre will do.<\/p>\n Length<\/strong>: ~1000 words<\/p>\n Due by<\/strong>: Friday, January 26th, noon EST<\/p>\n (Note: I’m gone next Friday so there may not be a flash fiction challenge. Lately I’ve been getting a WordPress error when I try to schedule posts, and they don’t actually show up when they’re scheduled? I assume a variety pack of gremlins is to blame.)<\/p>\n Post at your online space.<\/p>\n Give us that sweet sweet link.<\/p>\n Go write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, last week, you got to pick a song lyric you really liked, and you wrote a story based on that bit of song poetry.
