Abusing your Muse

My muse doesn't help me at all unless I'm in a good mood.
Either that or I need to get something off my chest.

Else he's gone.
All the time.

My Muse lives in Venice and almost never comes visit. Sometimes I'll get a postcard, but that's about it.

I abused my muse around march/april. I rewrote/edited so much of my novel that I got sick of writing and ended up wasting $50 on Maple Story NX for 2 months until I got to lvl 50 in the game and decided to write again.

My muse has been gone lately.

My muse is annoying to say the least. Whenever I actually want to write, it hides. At night when I really want to go to sleep because I have an exam, it chucks plot bunnies at me.

Afeefah

I don't know. One time I wrote for 9 hours straight - and other times I can't get a word on the page...

My muse will let me come up with ideas, but she won't let me work on any current works now. I want to find her, knock her out, and TIE HER TO MY KEYBOARD.

Where were you six months ago? That's a brilliant plan I could've used...

I'm going through the "down" period of this cycle. I just shot off a complete story in a month (editing and everything) and now my muse has gone on strike. I am at a loss...

Though maybe this is a good thing. I do have some papers to write for school.

My muse has never left my side. It comes up with about 50 different ideas every minute. Really, it does all the work. All I do is type...

Oh yeah. I was like that a couple of weeks ago (I'm still not finished!) I was writing from 9:00am to 3:00am everyday for about a week.

I have lots of muses. They show up whenever they decide they want their story to be told, even if I'm busy with another muse. Then they have an epic battle in my head. The two muses I've been working with for a while now are finally obeying and letting me write a little every night instead of in 3 month sprints. Once they're done though....I have no idea who will emerge victorious.
