Anyone seen Betty??

[Aurora Black]

I had a muse once. Mine was a guy. But he started a new chapter in his life and as such, he took my thoughts and desires with him.....

I'm sure I'll find a new muse ~ I'm holding auditions at 12:00...

You can take mine if you like. Cocky bastard.

Filthy whore.

I never understood the idea of a muse at all. Is it like you sit around staring at the ceiling and sucking on a pencil and waiting for someone to tell you what to write? (Sounds like high school to me). Or like you're only creative when you have this giant rabbit or fairy standing behind your chair telling what to do? Wearing tinfoil on your head can help prevent that.

I mean, when you're trying to think of something to write, do you walk around thinking about stories and interesting scenes or do you get down on your knees and try to invoke this muse thing?

When you want to write, do you have to feel like you're possessed or something? Or do you just think how much fun it's going to be to write about some guy getting a handjob during his driving test?

Just how does it work?

When I was acting, there are all sorts of ways to get "in touch" with a certain character, their motivations, their personalities. I never had any problem putting myself in someone else's place. Maybe that's also latent schizophrenia, who knows.

Since one of my favorite things is dialogue, then developing these characters and playing them against each other to see sparks is just fun.

But once developed, they might stay in your head as a touchstone. Something/someone/somewhere I go back to that is familiar and dynamic, a counterpoint to my own voice. Even though it is my voice. Like separating out an ocean of gray into darkness and light just to have contrast.

You wanna be a curmudgeon when you grow up, don't you?

It helps.

As far as I'm concerned, the muse is merely the personification of the writer's burning desire to create. My muse used to come to me in dreams, holding me and whispering sweet (and naughty) nothings into my ear. When I awoke from said dreams, I was inspired to write some of my best works yet I knew the entire time that I was behind everything.

Zoot, my darling -

The muse must be appeased. Come by at midnight on the night of the full moon... I will show you how we worship at her altar. Don't worrying about bringing the white goat, I have a few to spare...

Mmm, curried goat.

*giggles, sneezes, and snorts some more giggles out*

Rora, my darling girl, you are just evil.

You have no idea.

What's so funny about the goat? It's a must have on Greek holidays. Yum.
