Shake Away These Constant Days: An Explanation in Thirty Parts (Part 23: "Jests At Scars")

My upcoming book of short short stories,  Shake Away These Constant Days , originated as a project called Our Band Could Be Your Lit, in which I wrote a story under 1000 words every week. To generate this much content, I based the stories on songs suggested my musicians and writers from around the world. The original idea was 100 songs, 100 stories: find the creative common ground between two mediums and cultivating the virtue found therein.

Until September 25th, I'll be doing a blog post a day about the stories in the book. After that, it's all up to you.

"Hard-core Troubadour" by Steve Earle was the inspiration behind the story "Jests At Scars"

Tomorrow: A story named "This Illusion" that is based on the song "Feel" by Big Star.

Pre-order the book so Santana will stop releasing albums.
