muse food

It's been a while since I went shopping for food for my muses.

The ladies and I've been very busy and when we arn't doing projects together I'm being side tracke way more then every in my life.

So Now that I'm all high on my nano writing and such I'm happy to get back in touch with them and work on museings.

one really great way to do that is to feed your muses. What do muses eat? Why the eatthe dregs of information and conversation, as well as questions and thoughts.

So wandering the boards of Nanowrimo and reading the posts of the last month can give some intresting muse food.

you might have somebody ask a question like "Why would my evil world power genetically manipulate the population of earth?" To which you could say "so they can get you all to drink more coffee, which becomes the drug of population control" or some such thing, and then you start getting ideas for stories about humanity beeing bread to require certain supliments to survive and that is how big brother controls the population. Which leads you to wonder ... and so on and so fourth.

A page away somebody expounds on the originality of making the humans the bad guys in their story and they explain it in their setting but during that explaining they fail to notice that their story idea is not original and maybe only passable that in the background and idea they had could be polished up and reworked to provide a killer story premise. With sad poinginat undertones and empathetic characters of a non human variety.

Sometimes one idea in one thread slapped together with another idea from a completely incompatable idea from another thread can be mangled together for a truely strange idea that could be reworked inton something beautiful.

It is food for my muses.

It is yummy for me too. I like tasty ideas.

Take care of yourselves,
