The moon appeared from behind the eerie clouds blanketing the night sky, its glow illuminating the quiet landscape.

9 Writing Prompts about Failure

We have all at one time or another been put off trying something because we fear we might fail.

People don’t want to look stupid, or get embarrassed, or a hundred other things they think might happen as a result of failing.

It is through those countless attempts that they put in the practice necessary to become great at something.

Today we’re tapping in to this concept, and I hope that we can help people think about all the different facets of what failure actually means – and get some fantastic discussion and writing out of this.

12 Writing Prompts about Music

Every one of us I’m sure knows immediately what music means to us, when asked the question – even if our answer might change as we reflect some more on it.

And the same can be said about the art of making music.
