ImPrompTuesday - The Pop Issue

Hey folks. Today's prompt is once again based off of an upcoming issue of Underwired Magazine. The July issue is The Pop Issue and for your personal essay to be considered, you'll need to write an 800-1200 word essay and email it to them by June 1 - that's next Wednesday. So get to crackin'!

July The Pop Issue
Pop music, pop art... All things pop culture. And, of course, popping the question.

They pay 100 smackers, plus you get to crack your knuckles and write down a little bit of personal history. So get to it!

imPROMPTuesdays! - June guidelines for Underwired Magazine

So, good news: another of my personal essays will appear in Underwired Literary Magazine, a bossome publication based in Louisville. The May issue was about "Ah-ha Moments" and if you read my blog post, "Momma Knows Best," then you'll know what to expect in print.

And now, we near the June deadline. I've been horrible about submitting to Underwired (or anywhere) since my son was born, so let's use the last Tuesdays of each month to hold each other accountable. I know a lot of you respond to my blog with narratives of your own and a lot of you write. Well, tell your stories... and get paid!

Okay, you can go to Underwired's Website for submission guidelines; but here on the trusty blog, you can read about the June theme. We've got til Saturday night to turn something in, so get crackin'. 

Here's the prompt:

June The Office Issue
workaholic, glass ceilings, dream job/job from hell, 9-5, water cooler gossip, office politics, annoying co-workers, corner office, retirement
