She ...@Cherri...I would soooo love to fire my muse. She is a total slacker! She's always on break, or vacation, or doing her makeup, or probably flirting with some other muse nearby instead of doing her job.<br /><br />@Lenka... lol! You may have something there! The Ways of Khrem was originally intended to be a four part novel and I finally decided the three I had were good enough. There was going to be another shorter story in the middle besides The Cistern. So I successfully wrote a three part novel by setting out to write a four part novel. Hmmmm..... Alas, the cover for Shades is already done and it says eight stories. Next time, I'll know better.D.

I even have the trouble these days where I get 80% of the idea and can't find the last puzzle piece to start writing. <br /><br />I think there is the same thing with marathon runners, something about the twentieth mile... I'm not remembering right, but the solution is to bust through (in their case) and the rush carries the rest of the journey.<br /><br />When I find a solution for the muse, I will let you know :)<br /><br />Maybe trick her, tell her it's the first story for a new project instead of the last.<br />:)Lenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832791375861465119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653170718704163870.post-4368767159376195702011-12-14T07:32:51.610-06:002011-12-14T07:32:51.610-06:00No, uh-huh, never. LOL! Of course I do :>) My s...No, uh-huh, never. LOL! Of course I do :>) My simple solution is to-- start another WIP, and the one I abandoned starts screaming. Or you could kick your muse out and get another one.;-)Cherri Galbiatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078180016146514478noreply@blogger.com
