Discover Prompts, Day 22: Tempo

https://ift.tt/2xHmKjo <p><em><strong>Welcome to Discover
Prompts!</strong> Throughout April, <a
href="https://wordpress.com/discover-wordpress/2020/03/31/discover-writing-prompts/">we&#8217;re
sharing a daily prompt</a> to help you keep or regain your writing
rhythm. Not sure how to participate? Read on.</em></p>
<hr />
<p>Let&#8217;s think about the word: <strong>tempo</strong>.</p>
<p>Ready to roll? All you need to do is&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Write a new post on your site in response to the prompt.</li>
<li>Tag your post with <code>Discover Prompts</code> and click
<strong>Publish</strong>.</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.com/tag/discover%20prompts">Head to the
Reader</a> to engage with other participants&#8217; posts.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Need more ideas? Not sure what to write around
<strong>Tempo</strong>? We&#8217;re here to help:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you&#8217;re a photographer, show us a photo that depicts
motion. Feeling like you need more of a challenge? Share a series of
three photos, showing slow, moderate, and fast motion. </li>
<li>We all march to the beat of our inner drummer. Write a post about
your default tempo. Are you someone who likes to take the long slow
road, stopping to snap photographs and smell all the flowers, or are
you someone who prefers to know all the shortcuts to your destination?
</li>
<li>Musicians: write a short melody, bass line, or chord progression
of eight bars. Create three variations on the melody at three
different tempos: 60 beats per minute, 90 beats per minute, and at 120
beats per minute.</li>
<li>Poets: choose a favorite poem and write about its rhythm. Check <a
href="https://literarydevices.net/rhythm/">out some information</a> on
rhythm in poetry and share your analysis in a post.</li>
<li>Artists: do a series of three drawings of the same scene, but set
your timer! For drawing one, render as much detail as you can in two
minutes. For drawing two, use five minutes to draw the same scene. For
drawing three: take ten minutes to draw the same scene. Post your work
to your blog. Compare the drawings: which decisions did you have to
make to be true to the scene in the time allotted?</li>
</ul>
