Keeping the muse shackled ...

scottishlass.. to 
sg1padawan's home and desk :) Helping sg1padawan to write more :)
As for my own muse ... it is still on vacation on Bali ... probably tanning in the sun and meeting up with the spirits and ghosts and demons. Atm I'm staring at a blank page of my latest Orlific and somehow I know what to write but words delude me :s
Oh well another wasted Sunday night :s I better stick to archiving instead of writing, my muse is too fickle as to stay for any length of time :s
I think it will be better if I'd quit writing altogether. I got THREE bloody rejection letters yesterday. At least two sent back my script while the last one didn't even bother about that. Three isn't that much .. but that were number 48, 49 and 50 all in all. I had set myself a mark ... if I reach 30, I'll quit, then I chickened out, but 50 is enough, for me at least, and now only the lower quality publishing houses are left on my list, and no way I want to write for Baccara or some other cheap pulp fiction house.
Oh well, nothing to loose sleep about really. I'm positive of returning to a full-time job in October, more money to spend on DVDs and other stuff, I'm not carved out as the suffering writer type.

It certainly could be just a phase. As I said before, I don't want to hurt you or make you angry by talking about that sensitive subject. But I just want you to know that I still believe in you, that I still believe that you are a wonderful writer and that you are very talented. If you really close the book on that, I will respect your will as much as I respect our friendship... although it would be so sad.
*Hugs* all my love and thoughts are with you, sweetie... I hope you won't get mad at me...

Just wait for it, lady; it's gonna happen.
