Waging War Against my Muse

So as many of you know I have been fighting my muse for the past week or so.  Sadly to say I'm losing the battle.  So, at the suggestion of a wise writer frined of mine, I am going to sit down in front of this computer for a solid hour today and write.  As she said, doesn't mattter what it is or how bad it comes out, just write something . . . anything.  After a couple thousand words, something useful is bound to surface.

So I must extend an apology in advance to my three beta readers Rebecca, Natalie, and Regina.  I do apologize for the numerous pages of crap you are going to have to sufffer through as I wage war with my muse.

  2. I still battle my muse from time to time also, but you will get through it. You are a strong, talented writer and I believe in you. I know that there will be some magic across the screen when the muse comes back to life. Sometimes they rebel like children. Silly little muse. Good luck.

  3. LOL! I really laughed at that. You gotta smack that guy and write whatever comes. Wake him up! I've gone back and read things and said "what was I thinking?"- it was the muse-less moments

  4. I feel your pain! Have you seen the talk Elizabeth Gilbert gave on writing? It's so good! Here's the link in case you haven't seen it.

  5. Who knows what makes us as writers, write? Seeing the garbage man hop onto the garbage truck, watching the guy in the car next to you at a red light picking his nose...it's anyone's guess. All I have to say is, if we didn't have the 'down' times, then we wouldn't be so happy about the 'up' times. So raise a glass to your muse for giving you the creativity until now to write the great stories you do, and tell him the party's over; time to get back to work!
