Posting

I know my posting has been a bit erratic. Please bear with me as I work on this idea I have for Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare. It's a story idea, I promise.

Anyway...speaking of posting. Does anyone out there (if there is anyone out there really) have any ideas on some future posts? Is there something that you would like to hear me vent about, or address, or poke fun at, or....well, you get the idea.

I am trying to stay on top of this because I find that my creativity begins to flow when I write every day, or that elusive Muse deigns to show up and help me out a bit. My Muse is quite eccentric, and would rather hang out watching T.V. and smoking than doing what she is supposed to do. I wouldn't mind if the darn thing would even inspire me to keep up on laundry, dishes, organizing. No, my Muse is quite content to watch T.V., smoke a few cigarettes, drink some Dr Pepper, and play many a seek-and-find game on the computer. Way easier than actually providing a jumping off point for a story or even an idea for a story (simple idea, crazy idea, crappy idea, any idea would be nice). Yeah, my Muse is quite a bit like me...lazy.

And that Muse makes posting seem like I'm trying to write The Magnum Opus. Yeah, I know, it's a blog. The Muse is a lot like the students I see..."I have to actually do work?"

So, send some ideas my way, please. My Muse might realize she's in danger of losing her job that way.

Remember, there is a comment contest going on. Random comments will be chosen throughout the month to win a prize. The first commenter (Mrs. H!) will be getting her prize soon. I am hoping to run a comment contest every month. The rules will be spelled out clearly for everyone. The prize will be suitable for the person who wins, at least until I get my ducks in a row and can be a bit standardized.

Tell your friends about the blog! Gotta have readers to have comments!!

I WANT a Muse! Where can I hire one? Mike tells me I read because I have no imagination, and he writes because he HAS an imagination. I'm beginning to suspect he may be right!

Sounds like you've got a cool new idea for a story.

Mrs. H, if I could corner mine long enough, I'd ask her, but she is really flighty.

Matthew, I feel pretty good about it, and it is going to take a bit of work. I think it might be a worthwhile two-pronged project though. Thanks for stopping by!!
