Dear Muse...

Dear Muse: I Hate/Love/Live/Breath/Need You Letters

Taken from the NaNoWriMo boards here is a place where I can vent against anything and everything NaNo related. It's fun! (and helps me procrastinate on the real writing).

Dear Creative Self,

Yes, that is right, you have finally convinced me to write a novel with you as a main focus point. Enjoy it while you can drama whore, and please please please do not torment the Main Character too much. Don't take that as an invite to torment me either. By the way, your order of goth makeup arrived in the mail today. I hope you only plan to use it for Halloween.

Dear Muse,

You shall also have a home within this upcoming novel. Please remain your enigmatic, mysterious and gorgeous self for the remainder of the month and try not to steal too much attention from my Creative Self - she'll pitch a hissy fit. You will really get to shine in the next novel - but of course you must help me finish this first one before I can start the next!

Dear Main Character,

You are the only one I don't really know! Please come out and play, I promise I won't let my Creative Self get her hands on you until I've gotten to know you better. Do you have a name? Please tell me it doesn't change like the wind like Creative Self's does. I hope you like coffee.

Dear Sonya,

You are evil and sadistic and all around a fantastic psychopathic character. Please remember that this is not your story. This is not a story for sadistic psychopaths. This is a chicklit novel. Please stop invading my dreams and my thoughts every waking moment of the day with your insanity and take a step back. Come back in December and I'll write your story.

Dear Creative Self,

This is it! I gave you your novel - NOW WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!

Please return ASAP, I have to write 3,000 words today and at the moment I have the word "Falafel". Not good enough.

Dear Main Character,

Please come out of hiding, Sonya is just a figment of my imagination and I swear she will make no entrance into your story. Really. No psychopaths. You are the heroine of my chicklit romance. Not the victim of a horror story.

(......... i think...........)
