Unfortunately, I manage to get in my own way often enough that I need something solid to hold in my hand. Something to distract me long enough for the story to take form out of those shadows and winds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-46444992841163536412011-10-12T11:27:33.302-04:002011-10-12T11:27:33.302-04:00It's evident to me that my muse is either with...It's evident to me that my muse is either with me or not! <br /><br />Sometimes, though, I view my muse like Keith Richards views his--the stories/songs are already written--they're out there on the wind, in the universe, somewhere and if you think of one and listen, they come to you.E.

I believe she prefers to be wooed and is not at all adverse to teasing me. <br /><br />But if angry owl works, go for it!Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.com
