Bad muse! Bad, bad muse!!

My muse is wonderful most of the time. She whispers the basic plots of wonderfully romantic and erotic stories that I eventually craft into books. But she won't shut up... ever. She didn't come with an instruction manual either and no matter how thoroughly I search her, I can't find an off switch. No pause button, no return to voicemail option... nothing.

I'm currently in edits on one book, working on seven other projects as well, and have 30 other books in reserve, not counting all the ones I just had to forget... but she's been climbing all over my back with a new story and won't shut up. It's a great story... and I will write it, but I have too many others ahead of it... it'll be years!!

Anyone have any tips on how to subdue a hyperactive muse?

The wild ride continues

So, I find myself not having enough brain space to notate all the short story ideas my muse is flinging at me. Anyone ever had that problem? So I started jotting them down in my notepad. I doubt I'll ever have the time to get to them all, but sure alot of fun coming down the pike!

Muse gone Crazy

So, I'm having a great week. Great month, actually. This month, I've submitted a full length novel to a couple of agents, who I would love to work with.

I also wrote and submitted an erotica short story to a publisher, who I also would love to work with.

And, I'm 3k into another erotica 5k short story! All this, while waiting for my 1st round of edits from my publisher on Gothic City Lights!

Not bad?

Feeling Accomplished

So I finished the rough draft of my short story that my muse demanded I write. Its 4.3k, which is perfect for editing. I should be able to polish it by end of next week and start on a query! Resisting the temptation to carry the story on and on was hard, but I managed! Hehehe. Short stories are hard for me that way.

The Muse doth insist

So, I had one of those nights, where I really, really, I mean really needed a good night's sleep. And of course, the muse decides it's party time. Determined to get much needed rest before I start another week at the coal mine, I ignored the muse. Which, of course, did me no good as it kept me up all night, playing out the plot it wanted to write, in my head until it all was there and the alarm went off.

So now, here in the slave pit, I have 1k written on my break with 4k to go! *lol* It's funny sometimes how the must can overrule sensibility.
