Every author has a muse. Really, it's difficult to function without one. Actually, it's difficult to function with one as well. Why? The best synonym I can think of for muse is capricious. To a muse, that describes each one of them.
For over 2,500 years and throughout western civilization, it is largely acknowledged by artists of every sort that their inspirations, creativity and talent come from them.

Visit the Thoughts in Progress Blog today, and learn all about mine. She visits me at the most inconvenient times and places. She never gives me warning that she's about to appear. She's rude that way.
But given the choice, could I do without her? Wouldn't even want to try. When she's with me, every word floats on its own. Every page is a poem. Every chapter has its own brilliance. I could go on, but then you'd think my muse had left me...
Oh, and by the way, my muse reminds me there is a book giveaway. One person will win a copy of Katrina and Winter: Partners in Courage by visiting the blog! Perhaps your muse will be good to you!

I loved reading this post because I always seem to have an animal as my muse!! Not sure what that says about me, but it was interesting to read someone else's take on the subject!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think a muse is a muse...Whatever works for you! Mine is more like a little buzz of excitement, and then if I'm lucky--bam--she does the magic.
