My muse is a nerd who does crossword puzzles and drinks too much and loves a good story. My muse can also be recalcitrant and moody and doesn't like people as much as solitude.
I think my muse looks like my old dog, Brandi, who used to sit at my feet while I wrote. It's not the same without her. Maybe my muse is going to start looking like a new puppy.
When I write, I have to have a visual of the character. For the lead character, I have to love them and it has to be unrequited. I usually scour the internet for an image that matches up and into the notes doc they go.
I absolutely love hearing from you! Thank you so, so much for your thoughts and comments, they really do make my day. Consider yourself awesome. Also, I do my best to respond to every comment within 24 hours, so I invite you to come back and continue the conversation :)

I love it! My muse(s) are two boys desperately in need of haircuts!
ReplyDeleteMy muse doesn't have a look. She has a feel, the feel of dazzling yellow light.

ReplyDeleteI think that link does my muse justice.
My muse is a quiet house, with tea brewing and the vague ticking of a mantle clock.

I prefer to go to the amorphous blob place with my muse - or just stick to music as my muse.
ReplyDeleteMy muse is female with a major attitude.
ReplyDeleteWhich works out just fine for me 'cause most of my stories are written with strong female characters.
