My Muse

An amazing writer friend of mine challenged us to share a picture of our muse.  I am sure she's envisioning mystical, pixie-like creatures that dart in and out of our minds.  Mine -- not so much. See I actually have a physical muse; a creature that sits atop my writing desk and stares at me.  I call him Chuck -- as in half the crap he inspires me to write I edit out anyway


I talk to him, run ideas past him, and have even been known to wave pages of dialogue in his face demanding that he fix it.  Like a petulant child, he never answers me back, just sits and stares at me with that same stone glare.  I've had him for years and together we have cranked out some pretty . . . umm . . .tolerable manuscripts.

The friend's URL is http://rebekahstories.blogspot.com/    Head on over and take a peek at what her muse looks like and than be sure to share yours here!

  1. Awww, Chuck! I'm not sure what my muse looks like...I'll have to put some serious thought into this! Wow, what a great way to procrastinate, LOL!

  2. CHUCK!!! That's so funny and a great little muse. He seems very mischievious. Love it : ) Mine is from Alphonse Mucha, one of my favorite artists and I saw her and thought, "that lady is laughing at me. That's my Muse!" Maybe I need to get a statue on my desk...

  3. Oooh, Chuck is kinda scary! I don't mind him though, so long as you never sneak into my house and stuff him under my bed or anything. I don't have a physical muse actually, but I'm very fond of listening to music while I write. That - and my fireplace. That works wonders too:)

  4. I think Chuck would give me nightmares, lol. I don't have a muse or anything. I just tell myself that it's okay to write poorly, so the pressure is minimal. :)
