[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1499574, member: 12744"] Oh, my muse, such as she is, is much lazier and sneakier than that. She slams a quick image into my head, something usually at least 7+ pages into a story that I'm trying to write, that I cannot resist and then she disappears altogether. I sit and try to write something, and she is never there, usually all I hear from her is the crinkling of chips and slurping of drinks and a television with a reality TV show on in the background. So I try to go on without her, and bemoan my lack of inspiration and skills as I try to painfully drudge my way to that one scene that I can't pry loose from the back of my mind until I find myself writing and writing just to try to get there. Then, all of a sudden, I realize that somewhere along the way she has stepped in with a little push or pull one way or another and reading it over I like what has come out. Those realizations are usually triggered by me glancing at a clock and it being 2-3 hours later than I thought it was. So she is there all along, but she prefers that I do most of the hard work, only occasionally providing me with a flash of insight and whatnot on occasion, then returning her lazy butt to recline gracefully on my mental couch and take a cheeto dust-smeared nap. I envy those of you with good relationships with their muse. Maybe I should give my muse something, like jewelry or a pretty flower. Hmmm... chocolate. That might do... [/QUOTE]
