KILLING OR KISSING THE MUSE -- WRITERS ON FINDING INSPIRATION


This is my desktop wallpaper. A constant reminder of what I should be doing.

Is this your muse?
I joined the latest writers roundtable on Sean Taylor's Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action blog: Killing or Kissing the Muse -- Writers on Finding Inspiration. It’s a writing who’s who on a subject we’re all passionate about. Read all about it at http://seanhtaylor.blogspot.com/2012/09/killing-or-kissing-muse-writers-on.html?spref=tw

The muse.

Is this your muse?
As our ongoing metaphor for inspiration, she's been the subject of many songs and stories, best portrayed I think in Neil Gaiman's amazing comic Sandman. But I digress. Calliope (the muse of epic poetry) and her sisters have been
made a virtue by some, a vice by others, and by others merely ignored as an urban legend for creators.

To find out how today's hard-working writers feel about the muse and finding inspiration, particularly in today's busy lifestyles where one is most likely a "writer and" -- not merely having the luxury of just being a writer -- we asked.

And some very cool writers answered at http://seanhtaylor.blogspot.com/2012/09/killing-or-kissing-muse-writers-on.html
Is this your muse?
What's your muse?
