Welcome.
A while ago, I had a thought - What if I were to take one track, play it on repeat for 30 minutes, and write… what kinds of things could I write about? What changes would the music bring? Will a specific track or genre impact the images that float through my brain while writing?
Now, I know that music does impact me. Quite considerably actually. I will choose what to listen to based on what I am going to be writing about. But, what would happen if I were to create the soundtrack before creating the movie?
With those questions in mind, this blog was born.
Here are the ground rules - every so often, I will be choosing one song (or, rather, iTunes ’Random’ will choose one song) and I will write to it for a timed 30 minutes. I will post the song and whatever I have written. The post will be unedited and contain no proofreading. Any grammatical mistakes I make during this process will be carried on to the page. Some entries will be wonderful while others will be completely horrific.
I will not edit these posts. They will just be.
I’ve also decided to post other random musings when the mood strikes me. So, use the Pages section on the right to navigate to the correct area of the blog (as I am sorting posts to keep things nice and tidy).

Oh… and about me.
My name is Steve and I’m a 35 year old living in Seattle. I love to write though, I’m not very good at it.
