The Start of 5-Minute Stories

From 5-Minute Stories, a (somewhat) daily creative exercise.

In my attempt to be a better all around storyteller, I have a daily goal to create several small 5-min pieces of art a day that both support each other to build a narrative and/or can stand on their own. For instance, I keep a “melody journal” where I compose something simple most days. A 16-bar melody or a groove with chords or, maybe, a longer piece if it’s the weekend and I have time. I also try to sketch or watercolor. And write a little bit. And maybe take a photo or two…all to keep me moving the ball forward instead of waiting for an hour or two to show up before I decide to practice creating things. Bite-sized art, if you will.

I’d like to make my Patreon a place to post these tiny morsels for your enjoyment. Maybe something bigger will come out of them. Will anyone know? The answer to that is yes! You will! Because you’ll see it here first. 😉

Anyway, I will work to post these at the end of each day and maybe they’ll be entertaining for you at the start of your following morning. Some days I just won’t be able to do it, but most days I will. Thank you for being here!

For today’s outing I started down a bright shiny Bob Ross path but, as the night got long, it sort of turned into a look at human failure. Or at least what could be if we don’t fight for something better. If you are seeing this first thing in the morning, my apologies. All I can say is that these won’t all be as sobering as this one.

Best,
Airan
