5min Speed Writing Session: Walk this way

The sun is rising and the end of a gruelling night has finally arrived. In one corner of the arena lies a once powerful warlord, in the other a sign of things to come.
As the victor approaches the defeated, she hesitates and asks herself ' am I really ready for this reality?’
On the other side, Jack laughs with a distain towards everything she represents. He has nothing left in him, only a warning,
'You still live in a world that is governed by two different sets of laws'
...
Now, let me tell you the story of how this picture came to be.
A train stops at its designated station. Jack in his early forties attentively waits on the platform.

The end.


The music was an influential piece in the overall writing process, something which for some sense I didn’t expect to direct thought process as much as it did. As I am new to this method I found it inviting and productive. However, I still establish myself as trying to produce an understandable piece of work rather than simply writing down as many words as possible which I believe was the purpose of the exercise.
In terms of creating a theme, feel and overall mood of a larger picture, speed writing is a tool that I will employ if and when I get an unexpected burst of creativity. This unfortunately does not happen often as I am not one to carry around a notebook and pen as some artists find essential (and for good reason). But when it does, I’ll keep you updated.
