My Muse is a mean _itch. (Fill in whatever consonant works for you. "W"if you're being nice. "B" if you're being naughty. You can guess which one I'm thinking.) She'll only show up when I'm down to the wire and sleepless. She laughs at my pain. Tortures me with fresh ideas and creative twists and turns when there is no time to execute them all. We have a severe love/hate relationship, my Muse and I. Dysfunctional. Co-depedent. Can't live without each other.
But shh, don't tell her I'm complaining or she'll storm off in a huff.
Two days left to make my deadline. Sixty pages remaining to write and then do revisions. I can do it, right?
Right????
Sorry your Muse is being such a _itch.. But maybe if you feed her some wine and chocolate, that just might do the trick.. Never hurts to try...
ReplyDeleteOf course you can do it!! We, your fans, have faith in you!!
ReplyDeleteI can't, wah!! I'm on this great diet that's working.
ReplyDeleteWhat diet? I need one. Oh, and I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou *always* come through on deadlines. They should call you The Finisher. :D

Jenny, you are a stick! I'm doing Meidfast. Low cal, low fat, low carb. Bascially you eat nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou can and you will do it!
ReplyDeleteAfter all that hard work, the euphoria can kick in high drive and you can reward yourself with food and sleep. Then push repeat. The food and sleep part, I mean.
