Why is my muse such a tease?

[bashfullyshameless]

Why is it that when I'm on my way to work in the mornings, I totally feel like writing...

...but then once I'm home and settled and in front of my computer, I feel so brain dead?

Anyone else have this problem?

Try getting up an hour earlier and writing or carry a small tape recorder with you when you drive.

It's not the ideas that abandon me. It's the energy to write.

Yep. My muse Diedre is a perfidious little minx, given to disappearing for days and weeks at a time and returning with no explanation whatsoever. Then she sits atop my monitor, swinging her legs and begging for chocolate, her face set in an adorable pout. I always give in of course.

Your muse is simply toying with you.

Oh, yeah? Well, I'm not a lonely, awkward twenty-four year-old desperate for a hot chick's affections anymore! I've got pride! I've got dignity!

I've got...I've got...

Oh, wait, I've totally got an idea now...

Yes the brain dying as soon as the computer is open and the blank screen is in front of me. Some times it takes reading over stories on Lit or editing material that I have written helps to get the blood pumping.

I want to know why my muse wakes up around midnight and is hot to trot at 3 AM!

The rest of the time she's absent, unless I really need to go to the store.

William James spoke of "the bitch-goddess Success". Ol' Will never met my muse--talk about a bitch-goddess! She lets me write, all right all right, and most of it is junk. Then I finally write something I think is halfway decent, and she's all over it, saying "Nah, it's garbage, go quibble someone who knows how to write." So I do a Benchley, I sit down with a blank screen and type in the word "The". I've started, so I must go on, right? Wrong! The bitch makes me type "Hell with it!", and I go look for something else to do.

My muse hangs out in my hot tub and demands I drink a glass of wine in his honor before he will whisper in my ear.....bastard.

Um... Is it strange that I have the opposite problem? My muse strikes almost constantly, giving me the desire- and inspiration- to write pretty much persistently, to the exclusion of anything else. Case in point: I wrote all day, even though I have college assignments and exams to study for. I may not be terribly smart, but I did get a story and a half out of it!

My muse Megan must have been a night owl or an insomniac. there have been times I have awoken from a dead sleep at 2am with my mind racing I used to just jot the ideas down on a pad but then later that day could not "feel" it.

I now get up whenever she speaks and if it means I write from 2am until I have to go to work well then I drag ass at work. Writing is more important than the boring shit I get paid to do

I dont give writing a second thought; if it comes it comes. Plus I have other muses who provide me with plenty of elbow grease and ideas. There's more than one fish in the sea, ya know, and I have no patience for females who string me along. Teases never wanna put out so I dont deal with them.
