Tunnel Vision… tick-tock. Creativity hits the wall. What is it about this house?
TANNILLE: Muse? Hello?
Words echo like the wind in the image. Mind’s eye, a 360 degree painting. Still nothing… Wonder where Muse is? Slaying dragons?
MUSE: Just add a dragon.
TANNILLE: About bloody time you showed up!
MUSE: Dragon now!
TANNILLE: Why? To burn down the house with people inside?
MUSE: Not the first time. Remember that ceramic house you had as a teen?
TANNILLE: The one with the chimney and windows that smoked with burning incense?
MUSE: Help me, help me! Fire! Fire!
TANNILLE: You’re warped you know that… Yeah, I miss that thing too`
Tannille 
I don’t think that dragon is ever going to burn the barn

That muse should have a blog of her own – I’d be a follower!
Here’s mine!

Yours and mine have gone astray
I noticed it the other day.
It’s not the house that is to blame
that creative fire has lost its flame
or is it just the will I lack?
In time, I know, they will come back.

I would have loved to hear you and yours fight it out! But delivering a story is much more productive.

The muse, you can always rely on it but not necessarily at the right time. It’s great when you’re sleepy in bed but put it in front of a blank screen or page and it fails to make an appearance. I always think my muse must be Bacchus, drunk in an alley somewhere.

Loved it. I enjoyed how you turned the conversation into a script. I talk to my muse all the time. (something to think about.)

And I thought I was odd haha. Must admit she’s only this opinionated for these stories, most of the time it’s more of a whisper or nudge.
