Album Cover – Writing Prompt
Congratulations! Your brand new album comes out today, and you get to share it with the Twenty Something Writers community!
How to find out your album details:
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random – First random article is your band name.
- en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:Random- *Find a quote on the page to be your album title. You may have to refresh the page once if there are not quotes on your random page**
- flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days – Third picture is your album cover.
- Write your back story and inspiration.
As much as I would love to take credit for this awesome prompt, I can’t. This prompt is from John @ Phampants. He already did this, so if you need a little example or inspiration, you can see his response here.
*This is a writing prompt. Remember, post about it on your blog, link back here, then post the URL in the comments so we can check out your album! Encourage your blog readers to participate, and post their albums over here too. Let’s get our own little top-selling album chart here! 
**Originally step 2 linked to a page that was broken, and when fixed, it sent everyone to the same page for quotes, and that would be no fun! So, to avoid confusion, I provided a new link – by Katie@10:11 AM EST.

Couldn’t get my album name… the random quotation page doesn’t work

Fixed it and made a new link! Thanks for the heads up! Do it again, I’d love to see what you come up with.

On the error page, you’ll see a link to “random quotes” so click there. Or click the link below. The quotes are random so choose the top most quote and then the last 4-5 words from it.

Hopefully that helps people!

Just make sure that when you get to the quotes page, hit refresh. This will ensure another random set of quotes are given to you.

Thx for this one. It was interesting to write.

This is great!
You really go into mood of the prompt as I was hoping. It’s great when one is force to imagine a world that they have no control over, only to make it their own and bring out the feelings and make it alive. =)

What a great idea! I had a lot of fun writing this one. Surprising what you can create when given random items, huh?

“So this album is for those of you who have no where else to go.”
That line just made me smile. Also, I LOVE your album cover

Whoa. You did an excellent job on this one. I’m very impressed. The emotions present was so real that I thought this was true. Great job!

I had a lot fun with this. It was my fist 20sw prompt, and I really enjoyed it. There’s nothing like a good prompt to stir up some random creativity.
