Droplets from the Inkwell

Pagin My Muse

There's a huge part of me that wants to write. Really *wants* to write. I've enjoyed cranking out so many Writing Quickies, erotic short stories, Twitter Scribbles, and words on my novel, "A Change of Mind"  [GC], lately. It's given me a great sense of accomplishment, and I want to keep the momentum going.

And yet, right now, I got nothing. I sit looking at the fact that I haven't worked on the novel in 11 days, yet no new ideas (or the focus to turn them into even semi-workable plot and dialogue) come to me. I take some comfort in the knowledge that I produced my latest Writing Quickie, "Writing Quickie: Talking After the Movie" , on Sunday and the erotic story, "Tickle Torture"  [XGC], on Thursday. But as those slip further into the past, I find myself wanted to do something new.

And yet, I feel relatively uninspired. No new ideas come to mind for a Writing Quickie. No new set-ups for an erotic piece come to mind. And like I said, the novel has me coming up dry. And I find myself screaming out, "Hey, Muse! Where'd you go! Get back here? Please?"

Granted, the poor sleep schedule and tiredness hasn't helped. I've had a few days over the past seven where it's been a challenge to keep my eyes open and form coherent thoughts, let alone do anything as masterful as creative writing (or some semblance thereof). So in reality, I should cut myself a lot of slack and give myself a good deal of credit for what I have done.

But all the same, I'd really like my muse back so I can get back to work. So if you see him (her?), please let me know.
