Raine Delight - Muse and the author or in other words, what I do when he goes on vacation
My muse is one tough guy. He likes to go off to the islands, sip fruity drinks with umbrellas and listen to me gnash my teeth as I try to pound out a manuscript. Can anyone be so annoying? My honey likes to give me funny looks as I mutter under my breath at the computer about the way I am going to castrate the muse or heck, beat him into submission but once he decides to take pity on me, I am able to flow completely and am grateful for the muse’s help in getting the characters in order. As an author, I try to findĀ a way in between family, kids and other activities to write but some days I can not write due to other commitments. The one complaint I have on my muse is that he likes to start yammering away when I am gong to sleep. Do you know how annoying that is to hear the voices or feel that prod to write when I am just about to crash into la la land? *sighs* My honey tells me to keep a notebook by the bed to write what I am hearing but for some reason I can not make that work though I have heard it being done before by other authors. Can I get my muse to stay on the job when I need him to? Probably not but when he is in the house, I am creating worlds, characters and stories that make me feel like I am living it as it is played out. I like to think my muse is a cross between Johnny Depp’s character from the Pirate movies and Gerard Butler. What a combination in my mind for inspiration and one I would not change in a heartbeat.

That’s some weird combo, Raine! Johnny Depp and Gerard Butler?
Gotta tame those guys!
