In some way, shape or form, most writers are inspired by music. I could write weeks' worth of posts about how music works for me, but I would rather see how this inspiration plays out in the actual writing. This week's challenge is take one of these five song lyrics and see what comes out of them:
- The darker the secret, the harder you'll keep it. (Jack's Mannequin, "At Full Speed")
- I'm in love with my own sins. (Fall Out Boy, "America's Suitehearts")
- I've always been the easy kill. (Jimmy Eat World, "Kill")
- I'll take my chances on truck stops and state lines. (The Academy Is..., "Almost Here")
- She said, 'Let's change our luck.' (We the Kings, "Skyway Avenue")
Don't worry about knowing the song the lyric comes from; in fact, it's probably better if you don't. (I'm already struggling, wanting to connect my piece with the music, even though I haven't started writing yet.)
The final piece should be between 750 and 1000 words - enough to start to tell a story. With any luck, I'll have my attempt ready to post on Friday!
