Dear Dennis,
As your muse I am asking you, no, begging you to pick a story idea and just write it. I have giving you world-class plot ideas, fascinating, multi-layered characters, and exotic locations only to watch you turn them over for a few weeks, maybe write a scene or two, and then set them aside in favor of a newer idea. It takes a lot of effort for me to create the ideas I send you. I would hope you would show me the courtesy of at least following through on one of them.
Frustrated,
Your Muse
Dear Muse,
I appreciate your concern and frustration. However, if you would just stop giving me new material to consider, I could concentrate on finishing one idea. Perhaps you could do what all those other muses do and provide inspiration for the whole story and not just layout a scene or two leaving me with a blank screen and 50,000 words to find on my own. There is supposed to be a beginning, a middle, and an end. Sure, I know what the plotline is. However, it would be nice if you could help out with the details.
Also, you must understand that I cannot type as fast as you can think. I’m not a touch typist and you should get used to that.
So, get back to work and give me a great gypsy fortune-teller scene.
Ready to write,
Dennis
P.S. You can still work on the Actress and the Warlock from time to time.
