This is my muse story, written out of peer pressure because everyone except me seems to have one and some people (hint hint Kashe) seem to have FOUR. A wealth of inspiration! I have taken this opportunity to find my inner muse and see who’s making all the ruckus inside my head. A-muse-hunting I shall go!

Let’s start with the basics. I’m almost positive my muse is female, because almost all of the stories she inspires seem to have female protagonists, and I know she’s not very tall yet, because I haven’t been inspired with any lofty ideas.

So we have a short girl. I’m thinking glasses? To bring out my inner nerd? Yeah, ones that she loses everywhere. Then she has to abandon musing to go find them.

Now, what’s left? Hmm... she has purple eyes, of course, because, as she’s told me many times, purple is the most superior of all colors. Mostly she sticks to inspiring fantasies, with a penchant for dragons and the ability to fly, so she must of course have wings.

But are they bird-wings, bat-wings, or fairy-wings? I don’t think she’s an angel by any means... I lately got a really disturbing inspiration... nor does she strike me as a fairy. So I think we have to go with bat-wings. Hm.

I also think she’s very fierce, because she is always very insistent that I pay attention to a story idea /right now/, no matter that I’m doing an important homework assignment that I procrastinated on that’s due tomorrow. No, I need to pay attention to this idea first. And, of course, I always do.

So now we have a fierce short purple-eyed nerd-girl with glasses and wings. Promising.

Now, it’s my firm belief that my muse has a workspace lined with an endless amount of filing cabinets, for her to file her ideas for me. The problem is that I can never find them when I want them. It’s really quite frustrating. And of course she’s always to busy coming up with other story ideas after hearing some song or remembering some dream fragment or remembering one part of a book to help me look for the one I want to work on.

And so we come to the most important part of the muse: the name. This sounds difficult. A fierce short purple-eyed disorganized girl with glasses and bat-wings. What name fits that? I can only wait for my muse to inspire me...

Oh, I know! Zee. Zee is a good name. Thank you, Zee. Though it took you a while to remember your own name... must have been in one of those filing cabinets...
