Beautiful Music

[queenoftheskies]

Spent the night over at my youngest son's middle school for music. There was a Handbells and a Choir Spring Concert. The same teacher teaches both and she is absolutely AMAZING!!! Wonderfully talented woman. She treats the kids like they're going to be professional musicians. Teaches them the skills and the showmanship, too. So, the concerts are always GREAT.

Music reached that part of me that had retreated recently...the creative part. It talked to my muse. Told her to wake up and stop being a weenie. Told her that if she tried to please other people instead of me, that we wouldn't be true to each other. Reminded me of things I thought I'd lost.

Muse says she's tired...just like me. Too much stress. Not enough sleep. But, she's willing to let bygones be bygones and forget about the things that made her too sad to work. She says I'd better get rested up cause she's going to be a wickedly wonderful taskmaster and make me write, write, write...like I used to.

She said she'd give me until this weekend to rest up...though she really wants me to at least scribble some stuff out or plot some tomorrow. I told her that sounded good if work isn't nuts.

She said we need to critique some, too, cause we were bad last week. So, we're going to work on that this weekend, too.

Critters sent me a story by eugie and I ALWAYS love reading her writing, so I'm looking forward to that. Plus pet_hypothesis has a story up this week and I've printed it out, too.

Also, going to get to some pieces at Quill N Ink.

And, going to get to some pieces at OWW for writers on FL. I still owe quite a few people reviews.

Whew...she's going to keep me busy. I like writing type stuff busy. I've missed it. :)

Kitty Malik sits on the back of my chair and leans over to rub cheekies with me. He says I should consider sleeping soon. He's probably right. Hey, there is goes...to bed to wait for me!

No energy to read tonight. I'll catch up on short stories tomorrow night. Ooops...no I won't. Got an award ceremony to go to for my daughter tomorrow night at the high school. Hmm...maybe I can read at lunch. :)

Horray for the muse! Tell her she wasn't being a weenie, she was having a well earned rest!

I love that busy feeling. I think my muse just got a jump-start too. *group hug*

Sometimes, when something she thinks horrific has happened, she goes into what I call "duck and cover" mode, cause, since she's a creative spirit, she is very sensitive to disasters.

Hooray, for a jump-start. I can't wait until you post what you're working on. I loved your other story so much that I want to read something else!!!

I love the busy feeling too. There's something inspiring about being productive, isn't there?
