Let an old song suggest a new story in this week's creative writing exercise
Set the timer for three minutes and jot down a list of songs that have meant something to you at different times of your life.
Choose one of them. Listen to it again. Then set the timer for five minutes and free-write the story behind the song. What is it about? Who is it about?
For the remaining time jot down some ideas about what happens next. How does your story end?
