Muse
Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by Deb in On Writing
I got a call from one of my closest girlfriends today.
“My muse is angry at me,” she said.
Then we began to discuss why she felt that way and, better yet, how to remedy it. For some writers, there is a ritual, routine, and rhythm associated to their writing. She is one of those writers. When she finds her rhythm, though, it’s magical.
I’ve been having problems connecting with my muse myself. It’s why I understood what she was trying to tell me. Lately, when I sit to write, all I see before me is a blank canvas that I’m afraid to paint upon. Now to figure out how the hell to overcome the fear and reconnect myself.
