The Muse works for you. Cheers! :thumb: Eva, sorry you've been going through a lot. I've been there, where getting out one word is a challenge. Feisty, yes. You know it, sister. Big old yes. :boob: Ericka, yeah. You don't really believe, but part of you wants to. The Muse is like Santa. It's much more fun to say the gift (ideas) came from Santa (the Muse). :bunny Shiloh, LOL! Writer zilla! :lmao: Julie, exactly! Like I'm really going to give a fictional Muse credit for those words I sweated over. :diebastard: Lynn, I know! I used to be a compulsive blog hopper. I've calmed down a bit. :surrender: Yolanda, you are massively productive! The Muse works for you. Cheers! :thumb:

You mean people have those? Mine must have run off, because... Well, let's just say, I can find plenty of reasons to procrastinate without that one. Prime example - blogs. :popcorn: Blogs are to me what TV is to Aimee. That's what I have Tivo for :evillaugh: A muse? You mean people have those?

What's a muse? I wish I had one, seems like it'd be a nice accoutrement. But no, every word I write symbolizes a major struggle to get my ass out of the recliner and into the desk chair. But I'm cool with that. :woot: Muse? What’s a muse? I wish I had one, seems like it’d be a nice accoutrement.

She shows up, usually when I'm in the shower, and outlines about 3 books I need to write. Truthfully, I don't believe in her. . . but I feed her chocolate anyway, just to be safe. :poke: My “muse” is just an idea thrower.

She's always around, just never when I'm at my computer or any writing implement. Like when I'm driving or feeding my screaming child, there she is all, "Now you should go write this amazing scene!" And, hours later, when when I sit down the bitch is gone. You know what I say to my muse? :fu: Oh, my muse is a busy bee.

Well, I'm a muse fan. :mrgreen: I believe I do have a muse, and she's the one that helps me tap into that magic I call storytelling. But I've never used her as an excuse not to write. That's just a cop out! If anything, I complain about the amount of ideas she throws my way. :wink: Very cool post, Shelli!

And I've been pondering this for a long assed blog post myself. I just went through some family drama-and still ongoing-in the last few weeks that would make a mother's hair fry. Seriously. And I had a deadline. Let me tell you--I couldn't not think to write. I was so upset and distraught I mentally froze. Like the "this is a test-this is only a test?" noise? That nails on the blackboard sound?- is all that my brain was capable of. The Muse? She left the building. I asked myself that if I had any other job-an accountant? Nurse? What have you? Where I knew what I knew and my skill had nothing to do with my creativity (no vegetable throwing-I know there is a measure of creativity to all things) I would have been able to move forward. Matter of fact, I probably would have thrown myself into work hoping to get lost in it. But I couldn't with the writing. Now, I eventually got the last few thousand words out, but I was numb to them, and I had to trust my crit partners that all was well. I can't honestly say that I am confident in this story. (And I'm not uber confident with every story-but I am-there's a difference and I have no idea what it is.) So, anyhow, those are my thoughts about the Muse. I agree and I don’t.
