Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Sheltering Muses

Today you've been coerced into fostering a rescue muse.

Yep, Tell us about your experience at the muse shelter. Describe some of the muses and their sad history.
Decide which muse you are going to adopt, then choose one to give to one of the other bloggers, tell them a little about the muse you chose for them and why you thought it would be the perfect muse for them.

Do you know what would be fun? This is Andre's idea
Give rescue muses to your Writing.com friends and tag them in your entry.

The muses will thank you for this.

Quote: "Muses work all day and then at night get together and dance." by Edgar Degas

FOSTER WHAT?

A tall thin young man was sitting at the desk in the reception room. Let me guess? Your muse needs a muse?

Not exactly, my muse wants to foster a rescue muse, he didn't tell me why.

Sign this visitors book. Then, you can go back to view the muses. They are kept in special cages with sound canceling bars, so they cannot influence you to turn them loose. Do not put your fingers through the bars, some of them bite. He pointed to a hall behind his desk. Back there first room to the right.

As we entered the first cage held a large butterfly. It was yellow with brown spots on the wings. The wings spanned three feet. The sign on the cage said. Specialty - environmental influence.

Look the sign says this muse is here because its original owner froze into an ice block while trying to build a home in Alaska without using proper heating elements.

I said to my muse, Let's look at some more. The next cage had a glowing white unicorn. The sign read: Specialty = philosophy and spiritual ideals.

Hmmm. The sign also states you can only give this muse to someone with a good Scriptural understanding about the earth's inner core. I wonder what that means?

My muse tapped my mind: over here, over here.

A lazy extremely fat looking leech looked at us, then, belched loudly. His expelled breath smelled like a live distillery. The sign on the cage said: Specialty when sober: all types of Beer brewing methods.

You like this one for Robert Waltz?

The muse chuckled, yes, yes. I wrote down the cage number 4, on the tag given to me by Kevin the guy at the receptionist's desk.

Look it says its previous owner gave it up for adoption because he graduated to a new vodka drink mixed by Andre with a mystery ingredient.


Look at this one.

It was a malemute dog sitting in the doorway of a small igloo, which was placed on a high pile of snow. Specialty = all kinds of stories relating to low temperatures and tons of snow.

This would be great for nanamom.I wrote down the cage number 6, on the tag.

Nanamom has a lot of snow at her home now. Maybe the muse will help her with new stories for WDC.


We viewed cage after cage. Some had been abandoned for making their previous owners terrified of what they might write, other previous owners died trying to write the perfect story, still others, lost their will to write due to lack of time and energy.

Look at this one; I pointed out a gorgeous fairy with a backpack settled between its' wings. The sign said, Specialty = controversial subjects - adult discussions and commitments - free speech encouraged.

This muse is looking for a writer who likes to travel and uses their brain with proper enthusiasm for comments related to any subject.

Let's give this one to Kare Enga. The muse stated with a songlike vibration in my brain.


I wrote down number 21 on the tag. O.K. Do we need to keep looking?

I found the one I want to foster; this one. He pointed to a wild looking little dog. Specialty = adventure facts and stories.

We will return some other day. There are so many I have to check with the muse alliance to see if there is something else, we can do to move more muses out of captivity and into a better lifestyle.

At the desk I handed the tag to Kevin. We'll take these.

I can have them delivered. You owe me two chocolate candy bars for each muse. Unless the writers who use them hit it big by selling a novel, that everyone wants to read. If real money gets involved, I need a couple boxes of Kelloges Rice Krispies and some real cash.

Why Rice Krispies? They are so scarce I figure they will be like gold to use as currency someday.
I dug some candy bars out of my purse and left them on Kevin's desk.

We will take the little dog with us. You can deliver the rest. Bye Kevin we'll stop in again someday. Never know when you need a muse.
