\"DSCF0022\"Let\u2019s\u00a0welcome\u00a0back monthly columnist\u00a0Nevada McPherson<\/a>\u00a0as she shares with us \u201cWhen the Muse Sings.\u201d\u00a0Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

In my last post I talked about setting creative goals for the year and working toward them by taking action steps<\/strong>, no matter how small, every day. Being consistent, diligent and dedicated are important but there\u2019s another component of creativity that\u2019s out of one\u2019s control: the muse. At turns kind, capricious, generous and unruly, the muse is always welcome but not always available. Yes, it\u2019s possible to meet word count when the muse is silent, but what of the magic that goes into the process?<\/p>\n

Writing is tough, and much is produced through sheer discipline. When the muse sings, however, the work flows effortlessly. There\u2019s a lightness and ease like the wind at one\u2019s back. Hours pass in an instant and the joy of creation is yours for an entire morning, afternoon, or maybe even a whole week!<\/p>\n

The muse cannot be forced or manipulated<\/strong>, only invited and encouraged. The muse needs space. Perhaps that\u2019s the reason some writers get wonderful ideas when they go for a walk. Being outdoors, open to new sights and sounds while the body is in motion encourages the muse to whisper, sometimes even shout! On the other hand, the muse may also come to visit while you\u2019re in the dentist\u2019s chair, sitting in the car during rush hour, or standing in line at the grocery store. Visits from the muse aren\u2019t always convenient, but can enliven and enrich those mundane moments by delivering the perfect line, image, or ending.<\/p>\n

The muse shies away from fretfulness and worry. If you\u2019re anxious about where your next idea\u2019s coming from and your mind is on too many other things the muse might just find someplace else to go. It\u2019s nothing personal, but desperation isn\u2019t desirable nor attractive to the muse. Instead, patience, quiet confidence and — most of all — faith, are far more conducive to finding divine inspiration, or, better yet, having it find you!<\/p>\n

Music (from the word \u201cmuse\u201d!)<\/strong> can also be a powerful way to draw the muse closer. Often when I\u2019m listening to some of my favorite music, my mind races with possibilities and I can\u2019t wait to get back to my keyboard or sketchbook. \u00a0Going out to a good movie, or looking through a magazine; sharing in the world of images and ideas of others refreshes me creatively, too. You never know when the muse might direct you toward a photo, concept, or an article that speaks to you, helping you see things in a brand new way that will move your work forward.<\/p>\n

No matter what you do to invite the muse, I hope that s\/he visits you often in the New Year, and that this will be your best writing year yet!<\/p>\n
