Muse Call

I was asked by a wonderful blogger/Twitter personality Violeta Nedkova to write a small entry on her blog about who my muse is, what he/she is called, and my relationship to my muse. She's compiled entries from all kinds of bloggers on her site, and I really encourage you to check it out! Here's a link to part one of her compilation, and here's part two (where I am). (And follow her on Twitter, because she's the bee's knees at keeping on top of the writing world on there).

This is my entry (in poetry form, but it's in prose on Violeta's site):

Ode to a Nameless Muse

By K.D.

When I try to write, he sleeps,

tranquil as my mind frets

over the how-to’s, the kisses, the angst,

the constant struggle to get my characters from here to there.

When I try to sleep, he calls me,

always collect,

angry,

filled with passion;

begging me to pay attention to him as my dreams call me.

He is a tangle;

I am a pawn.

But our music that is manuscript

is beautiful

when we work

together.

We fight.

His time is his; my time is his.

When I want to write, he can’t fathom it.

But he wins

because he’s smarter,

more talented,

and more driven than me,

especially at four in the morning. 

Let me know what you think, and (again) be sure to check out all the other entries!

Now, to leave you with a song to write by, "How To Write a Love Song" by Axis of Awesome. HIGHLARIOUS and could quite possibly teach you how not to write a romance as well as a love song (or how to do such if you want it to be generic). Enjoy!
