Muse?

[Eroticfan33]

I hope this is the right place to post this.

I dabble in writing, and I was wondering where you get your muse/inspiration from.

Memories, a pretty girl on the bus, a stunning older woman sitting in a cafe, dreams, someone's comment to a story, my fantasies, a photo, a drawing, anything at all that catches my attention. Living life, in other words.

Or, alternatively, an "I wish that had happened differently" moment

Thanks guys

I real like writing (I wouldn't call myself an author by any means)

I have trouble sometimes getting ideas, so it helps to know some of your ways to get inspired.

Sorry about the multi-post, my Kindle is acting up.

Those with no experience need a muse.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. Those with no imagination have to rely on their limited experience and reading what others have done.

Your Muse/ Inspiration are everywhere when you let your imagination out to play.

I don't "get" my muse. It's there, in my mind. The only sense in which it's separate from me is that it works in the background and delivers (variously) developed ideas and scenarios outside my consciousness--but it's still me, the activity of my brain.

My muses give me too many ideas.

From time to time I have to write sets of 15 x 50-word stories just to use up the plots.

That is sometimes a problem I have too

It makes it hard to stay focused on one story line

Hey! I have an imagination.

Maybe to much of one at times.

I fired my muse and hired my imagination. The long term benefits out weigh keeping a muse on the payroll; my imagination does a hundred times the work load for free

Oh now, that's no way to be. Think of your Muse as the sexretary that keeps your imagination on the straight and narrow while giving you more time to type.

Mine is a tiny redhead with a cute butt that either sits on my shoulder whispering in my ear or stands on my thigh peeking over the desk top to read what I'm writing. She's mostly nude so there is no clothing bill or washing. She eats what i eat, she drinks what I drink, so there is no cost there.

The problem comes in when you drink too much as she gets twice as drunk. If you eat too much she gains the most weight. If you let her get bored, she leaves and takes your imagination with her.

Mine does come up with some very good ideas from time to time.

Last but not least, don't try writing anything mainstream with your Lit Muse sitting on your shoulder. Your editor will sink you in a sea of red ink.

Yeah, I see what your saying, but sometimes it's good to give your imagination a bump in the right direction.

Like me, if I can get a base idea off of, say a picture, I can write for a while.

Like, one time. I was looking to do a writing test, and I found a pic online, just by looking at the pic, I had about two pages of story [I count pages with Open Office]

That is really not a bad story idea. Do you mind if I try to make something out of it?

Have at it.

I have a Valentines Day story under construction that starts with my redheaded Muse. After that, all hell breaks loose.

Thanks man! And, don't worry, if anything comes of it, you'll get credit for the idea.

I would love to read your story. Do you have a time frame on it?

On this site my first thought was my penis.

Though I do suppose other factors are in play as well.

For most people every experience is a novel experience, and they learn as much the 100th time as they did the first.

I just keep thinking until there's a story idea worth writing about.

 

[oggbashan]

I just keep thinking until there's a story idea worth writing about.

If my muses would work like that, I'd be pleased. The ideas seem plausible until I have written more than the basic outline.

They keep giving me hundreds of story ideas that really aren't worth writing and my unfinished draft folder gets larger, and larger...

I have my folder like that in my Will. It goes to the my editor. Maybe she can make something out of it and off it. It is titled: The Bones of a Budding Writer.

I've imagined mine much like yours, but I think mine has A.D.D.

Mine is just flighty at times. Or it could be her halo slips and shows her horns. When she's being horny, she needs a little tickle here and there.
