Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!

Here’s a writing prompt for you. It’s a simple fill-in-the-blank. You can use one word or several. Feel free to get as crazy, genre-appropriate, or as imaginative as you want. The point is to get the creative juices flowing. And it’s a good thing to dig deeper, so don’t stop at the first idea that hits you. Try coming up with at least five things.

“Regret is _____.”

I’ll give you an example to get you started:

“Regret is long sleeves on a hot day just to hide a Spring Break tattoo.”

I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!

And thanks to Ernie Welch, Linda Keser, Tommy Kib, Tomas Giraitis, Matt Martoccio, Nancy Deckant, Ken Matthiesen, Debbie Convoy, Nick S., Jerry Childers, Kim Kondrashoff, Debbie Davidson, Barney Coulter, Pat Aureli, Joe Slyzelia and everyone else for your great additions to Wordplay Thursday #130 (read it here)! Great job!

Wordplay Thursday is a fun way to the get the creative juices flowing and get some song ideas.  However, if you’d like a deep dive into several ways of finding great song ideas, check out my upcoming online workshop “FINDING GREAT SONG IDEAS.”  Almost nothing can fast-track your songwriting career like consistently writing great ideas, and our online workshop will cover several repeatable methods for coming up with game-changing song ideas.  CLICK HERE TO FIND SOME GREAT SONG IDEAS.

And because just having a great idea is only PART of writing a great song, I also have an online workshop coming up called, “FOCUSING YOUR GREAT SONG IDEAS.”  This online workshop dives into several ways to make the most of your great idea.  I use these methods, and they’ve definitely been a big help in my songwriting career.

These workshops build off each other, but you don’t have to take both.  Each one is designed to give you plenty of great tips and advice all by themselves.  You don’t have to attend “FINDING” to attend “FOCUSING” but if you do sign up for “FINDING Great Song Ideas,” you’ll get a code for $10 off “FOCUSING Great Song Ideas.”  CLICK HERE TO FOCUS YOUR GREAT SONG IDEAS.

Tickets are limited for these workshops, and they’re going fast- so don’t delay.  Reserve your spot today!  Thanks!

God Bless,
