Letters to my Muse
November 9th, 2009 Comments Off
copied from my entries in the NaNo forums, where there is a thread for just such letters.
Mind you, this is brought on by the fact that the muse has what looks to be the worst timing known to humankind. Good grief, I am itching to write a scene, but I have work to do and I already have enough of a backlog, thankyouverymuch.
Reason I’m doing this? Because, once I look back a little, it’s hilarious. And yes, this will go to show you, my brain works in VERY weird ways.
Without further ado…the letter to my muse, as of today.

Dear Muse,
I do NOT appreciate this two-facedness – no, I do not. You stayed in my head for all of the weekend, enabling me to power to halfpoint and lead my beloved characters right up to a separate series of skirmishes. That’s lovely.
But…must you hit me while I’m on my day job and trying to do some bookkeeping? I know, “book” is the root in bookkeeping and bookwriting, but get it straight, please.
Oh, and if you desert me when I take my 5-minute eye-de-crossing break, we will have terse words.
No love,
Kat.
