Comment from Sasha
My muse has never introduced herself to me--mine is female. You two sound like an old--very old--married couple bickering away. I like how you emphasized the work and discipline needed to be a good writer. Something I certainly need to work on. This is a great entry for the contest and as always, I wish you all the best.

Jake and I have been hanging out forever. Thanks,
Comment from GWHARGIS
I loved it!!!!! I often feel like my muse is cheating on me. Then when I think about it, I am the one who usually stands him up. Funny we both have muses who are male. I'll bet Freud would have a field day with that. Good sexual undertone to this. I like that you focused on the writing and the bull shit that goes along with it. Well written and good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Jake has been around forever and I really never gave his gender a second thought. Progress, huh?

Thank you ....grumpy I say ...whaaaaaat Muse told you to edit!!!!
Mine said the same thing....I have a friend who edits I approached her, but it's like having a house cleaner...I've got to straighten my house before I let anyone in to know how truly disgusting I am....my novel-house needs a spring clean before I let loose...I thought muse was a derivative of amuse...no such luck
Well written

Wow! You captured the reality, the whimsy, and the work of writing. You made it come alive in the persona of your muse Jake, who cracks the whip and delivers a no nonsense formula for cleaning out the drivel and attending to business.
Excellent.

Comment from Jean Lutz
Talk about being married to your muse. This sounds like a couple that have been married so long even the insults fit like soft gloves. I wish you well in the contest and look forward to your teamwork in 2015.

Comment from K. Lorraine
So far, this contest entry is at the top of the list and a contender to respect. You have a great flair for writing and a real understand of your Muse. I especially like the second to the last sentence, "His last word still sit in my craw like a trapped chicken bone that might kill me." On the other hand, his Muse just might slit his throat. Very entertaining... great piece of writing and good luck.

Both your scenarios are dead on perfect if I classified this post honestly. Fiction? I think not.
