"What I try to do is write. I may write for two weeks ‘the cat sat on the mat, that is that, not a rat.’ And it might be just the most boring and awful stuff. But I try.
When I’m writing, I write. And then it’s as if the muse is convinced that I’m serious and says, 'Okay. Okay. I’ll come.'"
-Maya Angelou

Hmmm...
Day three of "Susie sells seashells by the seashore."
WHERE ARE YOU, MUSE?
Okay, I'll revise something, instead.
*heh heh* Enjoy your week!

Hope inspiration finds you! :)
It's tough when the muse doesn't show up. Especially when you have the time and inclination to write -- but no inspiration.
Right now, I haven't even had time to check if the muse is in the house. Home life and work have gotten in the way -- kept me so tied up I haven't even been to many blogs, let alone looked at my short story WIP.
Hope you get rolling today!
So simple. So concise. So true.
I'm right there. Where is that muse? Mine has been quiet.
I hit enter before I finished. I'm sure yours will come soon. Best wishes. :)
This is when I go for a run (or pig out on chocolate). :D
I am muse-less right now, too.
So sad. The writing is lifeless. Poo.
Love this :)
Storyqueen, YOU my friend, have a good excuse-your book just debuted last week. You're still in celebration mode!
Ha, I love the idea of a reluctant muse--I definitely feel that way sometimes. :)
My muse has been MIA. Every once in awhile I get a spurt, but I need to lure her back, find the sweet spot again.Maybe I'll write poetry to her. ;)
muses areso elusive! leaving us wanting more...glad they come back tho! i could use an editing muse
have a productive weekend!
I love that quote! Inspiration comes from sitting down and doing the writing. :) Happy weekend and happy writing!!
I have been museless! Is that a word?
