Authors frequently refer to their muse. Sometimes they give it a name, othertimes they simply refer to 'the muse'. It got me curious.

I think I'm too prosaic to have a muse. I almost clicked on the ticky boxes though!

*Snerk*

Ticky boxes are meant to be clicked, Bambu. (Says the gal who DID click on the ticky boxes.)

You don't have a muse? I used to think that I didn't, but lately I'm convinced that she's around. :)

Ah! Maybe I should go back and click the ticky boxes then. I'm very proud of you for embracing your inner-Gryffindor!

I don't think I'm terribly comfortable labeling my creative intuition. I grew up around a number of artists (of varying media,) and grew to distrust the concept of a Muse. However, I've learned a great many things in my life which keep me from assuming my youthful pronouncements were etched in stone. If you have come to feel your Muse, then I, for one, am delighted for you.

I can see that line of thinking, actually. It would make sense that labeling inspiration can lead to problems, truthfully.

Looking back, I sincerely hope that you didn't take offense to my comment. I truly meant nothing negative. :)

[bambu345.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! You didn't offend me at all!

I hope I didn't upset you. I certainly didn't mean to. I don't think there's any 'one' way to come into a creative moment. There are as many variations on the theme as there are of us.

No, Bambu, of course not. :)

Whew! ::wipes her brow::

Only almost? That's why I put them there, to be clicked, lol.

After ginnyweasley31 so sweetly chastised me ::grins:: I went back and clicked the little ticky boxes! They're fun!
