RE: Notes From an Amateur Writer #5 - Music as a Catalyst for Imagination: Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing
Nice choice ending it with Hendrix, mate. Really drives the point home!
You know how I feel about a child's imagination. I've written a whole story about it after all haha! It's a great thought you pointed out, talking about how children are god's being shaped as humans. We do lose that childlike wonder as we age, but it's arguably the best part of being a child. That feeling that anything is possible and that we can achieve anything we set our mind to. Universes and universes of wonder are a daily thing. It's always great to escape to much simpler times, and I'm glad to hear that music does that for you :D
Yes you have the pivotal story derived from, and centred on, life from the child's mind. A master class in what I was getting at. Sorry, I should have given credit for the inspiration! But yes you are right, and that is probably why your story resonated with me at a core level. And why I like to write, and am endeavouring to learn to express my creative thoughts and ideas as well as possible.
No apologies necessary, brother :D I would never stake my claim on the topic. We're all disciples of the quill, and the universe is our sandbox. I'm just glad it resonated with you the way it did.
You know, I actually approached another prominent writer here for feedback, but I was turned down saying the story was not his cup of tea haha! I wasn't really prepared for that, but I should've expected that it would be a reaction of at least half the people here. Suffice to say, that was the point when I stopped branching out haha!
