Inspiration Challenge – Unknown Legend

Writer,

 

April showers bring May flowers, except that we missed a lot of April, due to the creative re-org! We’re strapped in now though, and it feels amazing.

 

This week’s challenge is dedicated to all those moments driving around, walking around, running around, musing around… however you do it. Writing is directly connected to the moments in life where we are “not writing”, but just thinking and noticing. The words are born of those moments where we are just witnessing the world going by, in all the interesting ways that it does. 

With that lens, there is no such thing as the mundane. It’s all brilliant and important.

 

The inspiration this week comes from a Neil Young song – Unknown Legend. It’s the perfect song for driving around with the sunroof open on a beautiful sunny day. I’ve sung the lyrics a million times, easy, but I’ve never noticed the story the lyrics bring to life. I kind of laughed because it resonated. I have had a wild life, and now, I find myself often dreaming of my old life. The brilliant and important awareness, however, is that while I was living that wild life, I was dreaming of exactly this one.

Heavy? Of course not. We’re writers, and that awareness will be the stepping off place for your own fantastic brain candy. Go ahead, borrow my starting point, and write from the moment you saw how something in your life is exactly as it was meant to be.
