The writer who spoke at our writer's group meeting today said, "Everyone talks about muses... I don't rely on a muse because every time I need her the witch is off helping other authors!" Made me think of this post :-) Thought you’d enjoy this Emma.

Thanks for stopping by, Nicole! Yep, I think I might make these three guys my muses. That way I can just look at them a lot, right? Thanks everyone for the muse input.

For me, too, muse is what makes me want to write. But normally I just have to park myself in the chair and write. Btw, your three muses look inspiring, don't they? I agree with Nicole.

(in other words I was looking for a distraction from working on editing :) ) Awesome web! Not to mention great job on selling your books! Three of them look very interesting to me! :) Guess that means I'll be putting in some reading time here in the next few weeks! :) On the subject of muse or musing, however it's properly said, I never heard that term before. From what all three of you have said, I take it, it is what makes you want to write. I have discovered that personally I can write a tremendous amount if its new. Just as I've discovered that when it comes to editing for the umpteenth time(even its been extremly benifical, needed and productive) its like pulling teeth for me. Setting strict deadlines has helped get my butt in gear but I truly miss the 'fun' of writing just to write with no thought to punctation or grammer or missing links in the plot. So if that's a missing muse then I guess I've been struggling with it the last couple of weeks and I'm more anxious then ever to wrap this story up and get it back in the mail so that I can get back in the groove. Or in this case with the muse. :) Cole First, I just want to say Hi - I’ve seen your comments on April’s site several times and thought that today I’d spend a few minutes surfing the web and check you out.

I don't know if my muse is just quiet or if we're not communicating effectively, or what. I guess I have moments where it flows better than others... Is that my "muse"? I think maybe I'm too busy trying to get my characters to stay in line and do what I tell them to do... They're enough for me to handle without adding any other voices in my head!

Someone asked me once if I waited for inspiration to strike. Heck, no! If I did that, I wouldn't have written 3 books. You have to write your way through the rough spots, or in my case, write it in every possible WRONG way before you find the right way. It's always there. Sometimes it's just harder to discover.
