Are there any songs about Thursdays? I can’t think of any.
As an exercise in documenting my imagination fuel, I spent a day noting down interesting sights, sounds and topics for future writing. Inspiration is everywhere and you never know where the next gem might crop up.
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we’re doing it. ~ Neil Gaiman
- A burnt out building.
As I walked to work, I caught sight inside a fire damaged building. The news stories said the fire was suspicious. I peeked inside (actually I stopped and had a proper gawk) at the smoke damaged walls, the blackened beams, the smashed skylights, the missing first floor, the piles of debris, the grey, white and black.
- A ballet costume on a bill poster plastered to a brick wall
A vibrant green male ballet dancer jumping the air with a flowing cape from the Australian Ballet’s production of a Midsummer Night’s Dream. Here’s the image from the poster.
- Killer cockroaches preserved in amber found in Myanmar
A “crane giraffe” killer cockroach from 100 million years ago has been found preserved in amber. Sounds like the premise of a horror movie to me.
- A bumper sticker “Avenge Sevenfold”
This might be some kind of brand or a bikie gang, but my imagination went to a tale of brotherhood and family rivalry.
Note: turns out my memory is faulty and this is a US metal band and their name is Avenged Sevenfold. Good name though.
