Every Author has a Muse. Every Painter, Sculptor, Dancer, Artist in every form may have a Muse, but I don't know for sure. I just know that Authors have Muses. I know this because I have a Muse and every author I have talked to has one.
I just read a delightful blog at http://tweenyouandme.blogspot.com/ about an author's dealing with a muse. You should stop by and read it.
But after reading about this author's muse, I got to wondering. What does the author's muse say about the author in terms of what the muse looks like?
Every Muse does about the same actions for every author. The muse inspires the author to create. More importantly the muse tortures the author. The muse whispers words of inadequacies and tells you how stupid you are to be writing this or that. The muse sits on your shoulder and prods you. The muse demands you pay for the creative ideas.
Every author knows about the struggle between author and muse.
But not every author has a muse that looks the same way. Some muses are beautiful, or elusive. Some muses are strong manly and courageous. Some are feminine shapely and exotic.
My muse is a gnarly gremlin. So what does that say about me?
