I thought you were/are some kind of Science-Physiology person, not that the two would be mutually exclusive.

Just that feeling when the writing is pouring out and it doesn't feel like us. <br /><br />Damn. I'm all philosophical. Probably incoherent, too.

I mean, I talk about it jokingly - i.e. my muse is a fickle bitch - or whatever, but I don't find I fight "her" really. The inspiration to write is either there or it isn't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810952821295312008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-57862629739039197712011-02-20T14:02:31.883-05:002011-02-20T14:02:31.883-05:00Thank you, Kerry - glad you liked it!
LOL, Sulliv...Thank you, Kerry - glad you liked it!<br /><br />LOL, Sullivan. What's a pig to do? I *do* know a couple of writers who'd appreciate your particular brand of inspiration, if you want to back another horse.<br /><br />You and I often agree it seems, Linda. I believe in Santa Claus, too - the magical spirit of giving. Right on!<br /><br />Thanks Denise. Interesting that you point out, if obliquely, that the Greek muses are all female. I suspect that's because creativity is traditionally viewed as coming from the feminine aspect.Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-9246670978838204342011-02-20T13:41:39.618-05:002011-02-20T13:41:39.618-05:00My muses are always male.

Presents, in Santa's case, and creative ideas in the muse's. I like a little magic in my life. :)Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-60295184709827088942011-02-20T13:14:39.294-05:002011-02-20T13:14:39.294-05:00I try to be my owner's muse, but she doesn'...I try to be my owner's muse, but she doesn't listen to me!
