Today I'm going to work on something. For some strange reason my muse has gone astray. Muses are funny like that. When you can't listen to them they've got all the ideas you can handle and then some. But when you're straining to hear them suddenly they disappear. I guess that's normal. My muse took a two year hiatus on me. I did manage OK without her, but my writing just wasn't the same. It lacked the fire I had come to expect from her. But then suddenly she returned with a vengeance. Perhaps she had a romantic getaway with someones male muse and came back with lots of great ideas. Never know with muses.
So, today I'm going to begin the final love scene on my BDSM story I'd mentioned last post. I keep telling myself that it won't be a big deal, just write it. But Bastion and Tawny aren't behaving. They don't want to tell me what's going on...maybe they've suddenly became shy. Don't know. But I'm going to try it. May be surprised with what i come up with. I usually find myself pleasantly surprised with what comes out. Most times I write it through once, without stopping to look and then go back and read it again. There are times when I've been away from a project for a while and when I go back I almost can't believe what I've written. I suppose most writers have that from time to time. It's truly almost an out of body experience when your muse takes over and your just the vehicle of creation. Wonderful feeling that. Amazes me how into my plot I get sometimes. I dream scenes, wake up and have to write them down. I'll be taking a shower and be OMG I gotta remember that. There's a small notebook that stays in my truck(two in my purse), that way I always have something to write on no matter where I am. But I guess that's just the sort of little quirky things a writer does. Most people wouldn't understand us, they think we're nuts when we talk about our characters as though they are real people, but to us they are. And only another writer would hear you say "They won't listen to me." Or "I've got another couple in my head talking to me." and not instantly start calling the folks in the white coats to come and take you away. One thing I can say is this, if I'm going insane at least I'll have plenty of company there!
Have a wonderful day everyone! Talk to you soon!
