Quickly find some music to listen to – turn on the radio, ask your smart speaker or find something on your phone. Listen for twenty minutes and note down all the images that come to you. Pick three of them, or more if you wish.
Can you weave these into a story? Or will these lead to a piece of creative non-fiction? Does music already tell a story?
If you’re listening to a pop-tune can you unfold the words a little? What has made the singer tell this story? Remember of course the rules about not using song lyrics in fiction. Could such music be the catalyst to a story rather than be telling the story itself?
For example could you tell the story of someone watching the roof-top performance by the Beatles? Might your story be about someone listening to this music and making ti all about them?
Might the music just be a background to your story.
