I loved hearing about your muses :) <br /><br />@Rachel - thanks so much :)<br /><br />@Quinn - Lovely to hear about your different types of muses. I collect photos that inspire my writing too sometimes - it lets you refresh the inspiration every time you look at them...<br /><br />@Megan - great to hear I'm not the only one with a fickle muse... :)<br /><br />@Patricia - LOL. And I love that music is your muse. There's just something about music isn't there, that gets those creative sparks flying!!!<br /><br />@Faith - I hear you! ;)<br /><br />@Serena - can't wait to read your post. And thanks so much for the award :)<br /><br />@Cinnette - I'm pretty sure they love cookies!!! :)<br /><br />@Elena - you're so right, we do need to keep our inspiration fresh so our writing doesn't become stale. That's definitely something to keep in mind<br /><br />@Anne - those muses can be slippery little suckers, can't they!Rachael Harriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16764930101064527321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-60776200195080028132010-10-06T12:45:00.733-04:002010-10-06T12:45:00.733-04:00I think my muse is ever changing.

To own inspiration would be to write something generic forever - because it's really the randomness of inspiration that makes the writing so good, and makes us appreciate the times when our brains aren't sparking.Elena Solodowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037029195682225565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-9362025728422443992010-10-05T18:28:04.016-04:002010-10-05T18:28:04.016-04:00I have a small bag of cookies stashed in my filing...I have a small bag of cookies stashed in my filing cabinet; maybe that will lure the little devil out...;0)Cinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453731550912619157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-37017218315055836302010-10-05T17:32:19.103-04:002010-10-05T17:32:19.103-04:00loved your mars bar fiend, and hperactive multi co...loved your mars bar fiend, and hperactive multi coloured bumble bee.:)<br />Im posting mine tomorrow.

I like how you started off telling a story, but then got into just a general writing topic -- muses. <br /><br />As for me, my muse can be anything, but usually it's whatever triggered the project. A music video triggered books one and two -- so whenever I was stuck, I would watch them. A Polish model inspired my new book. I have his picture as the background of my phone so I can be inspired.Basthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561466241112288690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-56509264638250627562010-10-05T05:49:00.304-04:002010-10-05T05:49:00.304-04:00I love it, I love it!
