Yesterday, after the shenanigans that went on here, I had plot bunnies swimming in my head. I also wanted to play with the yarn. So, I sat there, playing with cables, TV playing in the background but not paying attention to it at all because the voices would not shut up. The muse seemed to particularly like the starting point inspired by the comments yesterday. She wouldn't leave it alone. And now I have two characters and a whole first chapter. Where they go from here, I can't quite say. The attraction is instant and I totally get why they get together...but I'm not quite sure why they stay together. I'll keep them in my brain and we shall see what develops, hmm?
It's not what the BFF wants me to work on (don't try to deny it, dear :P) but I haven't felt inspired by that in a long time. I don't know why. Other than a burst a couple of weeks ago, that didn't go very far, it's all dried up in my head. I guess it's a good thing that I haven't published that because otherwise I'd have fan who hated me for not producing anything. As it is, The BFF is sad but as she loves me, she doesn't hold it against me. Much.
But I played with cables and thought up some characters...so it's not a total waste of a day, right?
That was fun! Still smiling about it. You have to go with your muse. Don't fight it. It's easier that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm still giggling about it too! And trying to fight against her is like struggling through quicksand...I get nowhere fast.
DeleteYay Mary, we'll get our dedication in a published story yet!
ReplyDeleteAnd as for your muse Kris, I'm still recovering from you saying "the muse sometimes rides me like a porn star. " 0.o
LOL
Heh heh heh. Well, it's true. There is no better way to describe it!
DeleteAnd yes, it will absolutely be dedicated to the two of you!

Thanks for that. It looks like me, but I haven't gotten an email. So, I guess I'll wait and see. Thanks for looking out for me, Mary!
