Getting our muse to wake up is a mighty endeavor. Sometimes finding a picture will suddenly wake up creative juices. Try pexels.com

Well Sankey this is definitely the start of the wake up call. Sometimes those muses get all up in here and think they have to say something profound, which is of course not true. LOL

Great job with a fun read today and you are well on the way to posting up a storm rising from the muse fog.

Ha ha ha, it is difficult to wake up our muse when we are stuck in the house! I am always inspired by nature and I have really been able to get out this weekend and enjoy the scenes, I recommend it, your words made me smile, love Dolly x

Yes the sentiments sound all too familiar - when the Muse decamps it is difficult to re-establish a connection !!!!- No pic required to illustrate & thanks for sharing

Hi there,

When creativity takes break it can be a difficult battle to overcome. The idea of a muse tickles me. I always think folk are slightly mad, as I do when characters 'talk' to the writer. the best way I know to break through is just to simply sit down and write - doesn't matter if it's crap either. lol

All the best

Hi there Sankey
I very much enjoyed reading your little poem about finding your muse. I'm surprised that you have not entered in the "four line poem"
Contest as I think it would have done well. Best woshes Jen.

    Hi Jen I have given up on FS contests they are all a rip off and mostly the same ones win them all the time. Thanks for coming by.

been there, done that...I found if I let it go and didn't knock myself out about that somehow or other things I needed plus my Muse seemed to come back...unfortunately sometimes it took a bit of long time. I enjoyed reading this, maybe just let it sleep until it is ready. Dinah

    Thanks Dinah. You have figured out even though this was an ancient write it needed to come out again for this very reason./ Cheers will see if I can find your stuff later.

This is such a good poem that really hits at something all writers from time to time. My ex girlfriend was my muse for awhile and now I'm looking for another! A joy to read.

Well my friend you need a seed,
to open the door in your mind.
A subject close, another's deed,
just write and see what you find.

The blank page is not a wall,
but an opportunity to create.
A gift of you for us all,
so expand that thought, mate.

Ron
