Just get in a boat, or anything that floats really. Head North until you get to the Puget Sound. The tides, wind and swell should bring you right to the chair and your muse. <br /><br />Monica I gather that you're pretty far away (Toronto if the Blue Jays reference means anything). But it's cool following you and your fictional seven deadly sins (that I need to get to myself). As for murdering muses, yes, somedays I struggle to write so badly I'm afraid I've become the literary inspiration equivalent of Jack the Ripper. <br /><br />Thank you Donna Lyn, that cover was just kind of a fun sketch I've kept up on my wall for inspiration. Funny how as a writer it helps to occasionally switch your medium and shake your brains a little, switch paradigms. Illustrators do this naturally, but I have to remind myself to draw a picture, watch a movie, or do brainstorm visually, even verbally, as opposed to just writing. Kjersten has a great post about creative journaling here: http://kjerstenannahayes.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-journal-is-playground.html<br />Donna Lyn is a genius of exploring her creativity as well here: http://www.adashfromdonnalyn.blogspot.com/ <br />Donna is my Aunt and when I was little she was the absolute best coloring book colorer I've still ever seen in my life. We used to marvel over her coloring book artwork. She has cleverly turned that into an awesome career along similar creative lines... (sorry pun)<br /><br />good idea Anita. I eat even when I'm not stuck. <br /><br />Karen ann, thank you. Amusement and inspiration is what we're going for here. Though I wonder if your muse wouldn't show up on an old Taco Bell commercial or the big screen (wasn't there some new big chihuahua movie?). From one dog person to another, thank you.BJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947302421554392540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185048217225279620.post-50645108859864460462009-06-28T11:21:00.491-07:002009-06-28T11:21:00.491-07:00what a great post. i was amused and inspired by yo...what a great post. i was amused and inspired by your writing and the scenery is stunning. when muses go missing, they will surely be found — in places like this.i, chihuahuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747514587542586267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185048217225279620.post-33278546261654057442009-06-27T19:13:11.815-07:002009-06-27T19:13:11.815-07:00When I get stuck

I think i'll have to find a place like yours.

Mine decided "revision" was a tiresome word and went AWOL.<br />:-D thanks for the post, feeling much better now, and so happy to hear you're off and running.Tricia J.
