Take the entire 15 short stories from James Joyce's Dubliners and write 15 songs inspired by the stories. This was the genesis of Rejoycean, a musical project from John Prendergast. What started off as basically a novel way to spur creativity yielded a method of writing and expression that John felt comfortable with .
