My Muse seems to Enjoy Torturing Me


th_gravitation-1-1
Currently that is my avatar at the moment. I’m pissy.

I’m not at this point yet. —->th_thdeath

If that happens its time to break out the chocy and all my fav movies. Anyway, I feel like?my muse is screwing with me. She shows me hot and sexy scenes (a threesome no less!) and then runs away laughing. ?I just don’t have a beginning for my story I have sex scenes! I want a beginning damnit. I want to start at point A, get to point B where they meet and then have them get to point C and maybe D and then The End. I know how they get together, where they meet and how this whole thing happens but what I want is a good beginning and I loathe starting over which is what I seem to be doing as of late. I start a story, go back, redo the beginning and then move on.

It doesn’t help that I’ve been sick for the last month and I’m tired most of the time. And when you’re tired everything you write seems like crap. No natural rhythm. I feel off balance. I want to write not dredge through it. I want to get lost in the story, not growl at the screen, hit backspace and start all over again.

-Whine over-

So here’s a question for the writers.

When your muse throws you a curve ball and shows you the story in bits and pieces do you roll with it or fight to start at the beginning?

Or do you grab your muse, put them in a hammerlock and threaten to flog them until they tell you everything, no details spared.

(I tried threatening my muse with this: http://www.bootyparlor.com/good-girl-bad-girl-whipper-tickler.html she just laughed and bent over. My muse is sick I tell you! Sick…And naughty. :lol: )

P.S. Thank You to Teeka, she gave me a good idea. *Grin*
