Tannille: Damn it, I love rainbows. You’re being difficult…
Muse: Me? I threw Care Bears and My Little Pony at you.
Tannille: Yes and they have copy write. I suggested mythology; Norse, Irish, Greek, Chinese – take your pick.
Muse: Mythology scratches my itch. The Chinese goddess Nuwa sealed slits in the sky by using stones of five different colours, keeping heaven from colliding with earth and creating chaos. A very cool alternative to the rainbow bridge concept.
Tannille: Yay, so we write a story about the first DIY goddess?
Muse: In 100 words? Piss off. Have you been drinking?
Tannille: No, but maybe I should…
Tannille 
I’d go with the DIY goddess. A lovely idea

Dear Tanille,
That pesky muse. Sometimes it’s hard to get a straight answer from her, isn’t it? Cute. You made me smile.
Shalom,

I’m reliving Care Bears and My Little Pony with my 5 year old daughter at the moment. They haven’t got any better… The mythology story sounds intriguing.

Poor you. The new gen MLP and Care Bears aren’t the same. Poor kid needs vintage. 😀.
I liked the mythology story the 100 word limit scared me off.

Tough to put interesting stories in 100 words!
Drinking will make it possible?!

Some stories just are suited to the 100word realm.

The rainbow is a distraction. Why is there an empty mooring? At a time when travel is forbidden, why did he creep away in the night and more to the point, where on earth could he go?

This time I got the idea, however, once one has written a lot of 100 word stories and novel scenes one starts to understand how many words are needed. So I chickened out lol.

Love the idea of the Chinese and her stones – beautiful

Nuwa is new to me, Tannille, so thanks for that.
Have you thought about a more co-operative Muse, hmm?
But she is amusing!

Nuwa was news to me too. I Wikipedia rainbows. Thought now there’s an idea, then realised 100 wouldn’t scratch the surface.
The muse scoffed at your co-operation suggestion 😀. I’m just grateful for the bones she throws.

My muse wasn’t having it this morning either. She’s been feeling neglected. I’ve been working on editing lately. So, I did other things while waiting for her to wake up. I ran with the first thing she threw at me.

I’m with your muse, it might be too big an ask of her to write about the first DIY goddess in only 100 words. But, maybe it’s worth a try. I enjoy the dialogue with your muse!
