This week's prompt is the last character exploration and we'll begin with a new focus next week. Take one of your existing characters and have them reflect honestly on something that they are not proud of in their lives. Are the willing to say 'sorry' for what they have done or is it too late? Does your character write a letter, make a phone call or is it simply being honest with themselves that is important.? Use the music to guide you.
Honesty was one of the hit singles from 52nd Street was released on the 1st November in 1978. "Honesty" was a top 40 hit - it reached 24 on the American Billboard Charts. In February 1979 '52nd Street' was award the Grammy for best album of the year. The album is named after the famous 52nd Street in Manhattan which hosted many of the world's premier jazz venues and performers throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. I remember 52nd Street from my father's collection of tapes and would have been my first exposure to Billy Joel. I can still see Joel on the front holding a trumpet and being most upset years later to discover that Piano Man wasn't on that album!
Thank you to Annie for providing the original idea of a character being sorry (sadly we weren't so impressed with the film clip for Madonna's song "Sorry") and to Paul who happened to have a Billy Joel quote from "Honesty" on his most recent blog post which filled the void of song, but kept the original premise.
Happy writing.
