Let’s have a bit of fun. Take your birthday and write it out in numbers.

For example: November 3, 1978 would be 11-3-1978

Now add those numbers up, however you want.

Examples: 1+1+3+1+9+7+8=30        

or 11+3+1978=1992              1+9+9+2=21    

If your two digit number is greater than 26 then you need to add those two digits together.

Example: 3+0=3

Take the number you get (as long as it is under 26) and match it up with it’s corresponding letter in the alphabet.

Take that letter and list ten words.

Take one, some, or all of those words and use them to inspire or be part of a piece.

Play around. Have fun!
