What can we, as writers, learn from the music of The Beatles? Quite a lot, honestly. But I’ll break it down into five simple elements for us all.
It’s not news that all types of art influence others. For me, films play a big part in giving me ideas for stories. Heck, Girl With a Pearl Earring was written from a painting with no story—so someone made one up. Music can also influence us in many ways. It creates mood; lyrics can spring ideas in our heads. And, as I’ll lay out, the ethics of a good band—and good writers—can be a great help.
#1 Hard Work and Perseverance
#2 Passion and Curiosity
#3 Respect – For Yourself and Others
#4 Ubiquitousness and Universality
#5 Esteem and Influence
Music has influenced me in so many ways I cannot even begin to list them. Learn from the best to be the best, yet don’t imitate. Use what you see and make it your own and your writing will shine. I truly believe that. Now, get to writing something grand!
