Wannabe a writer? Or an artiste? Or the 21st century’s answer to Bach? Well, all you have to do is summon the Muse, eh?
LOL! Personally, I’ve never been much of an acolyte of the Muses…inspiration lurks in the “Pay to the Order of…” line of a well-written check. But some of us revel in the emotional tug of a mystical impetus to inspiration.
The “Muse” answers to one call: hard work. Work at learning one’s art. Work at practicing it. Work at perfecting it.
Over at Writers Plain & Simple, a student’s tyro article inspired (heh!) a squib on the subject, you might enjoy.
Meanwhile, not an awful lot of Musing got done around here today. Book 14 of Fire-Rider went up (to the right). Tweets got twittered. Correspondence got sent to authors. A couple of authors got paid (one belatedly!). A meeting got met. The e-book builder got discussed with. The mess that is my computer filing system got a start on a cleanup. None of it what you’d call “inspired.”
Oh well.
