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!

Then later you can read your list of titles and see if it sparks a creative burst.

What does happiness look like? What does it sound like? What does it taste like? What does it feel like? What does it smell like?
If writing, be as descriptive of what you think happiness is as possible. Try to make the person experience happiness from your perspective.
