What exactly is a writing muse?
968048
Someone you can blame for your lack of inspiration. Heh. No, a muse is actually supposed to be a SOURCE of inspiration. Greek orators would invoke the muses (kind of deities that preside over creative/literary arts) before telling a story.\n\nWhen fangirls use "writing muse," they probably have created actual characters (like tigers, fairies, etc.) that are their "muses." They often give them personalities and may draw them. For example, I have a muse named Tränt who's an alien-looking human from one of Jupiter's moons. When I'm talking about writing or about anything in general, I can say things like "Tränt is being lazy, so I don't know when I'll finish the fic" or I can actually have him speak up and comment on something I say. I've seen people have entire arguments with their own muses.\n\n[Tränt: What do you mean, "lazy?" It's your stupid fic.\nMe: Shut up! You're making me look bad!\nTränt: You always look bad. I'm going to go make a sandwich.\nMe: No! Help me write this answer!\nTränt: No, remember, you said I'm lazy. I'm not doing anything.\nMe: I'm going to throw photography chemicals on you.\nTränt: Mmm, do you think that will go with peanut butter and jelly?]\n\nSee? He's always arguing with me, really he gets in my way more than he inspires me. Someday I really am going to dissolve him slowly in chemicals.

When I was younger I didn't know what I wanted to focus on either. The thing I love to do the most - writing - is what I'm focused on right now. That's not to say I'm earning my living from it - yet - I'm working towards that goal. You'll find as time goes on that some interests will wane and others will come to the fore. What do you love the most? What are you best at? Given that every thing you do will have some negative areas what thing do you enjoy doing day in, day out?

I'm not a writer, so take this advice with a sense of humor.  Go through a lot of questions and answers on this site.  Some of the responses have knocked MY socks off and caused me to almost fall off my chair in fits of laughter.  Just take a spin around the site.  Lots of good ideas out there.  Just watch the language though.\n\nMerlin is correct,  the funniest things come from real life.\n\nGood Luck  HTH  (Hope This Helps)

These guys can help or at least point you in the right direction: www.wordtechs.com. They were lots of help to me, polished many a paper and they help with all kinds of writing. They provided me with a one-on-one writing coach that I communicated with over the phone and email. I'm really feeling good about my writing now and have some up for publishing. Also, only a few dollars and quick turn-around.\n\nGood luck!\n~Tia~

Honestly hon, I don't think you writing all the time is a bad thing - from the age of 7 until I had my first child at 19, that's basically all I did, but it wasn't because I was misserable. I wrote in my spare time - after school, sometimes before school. If what you have is an addiction, I wonder what professional writters have LOL - If you're that concerned about it, I would try to set a limit as to how much you allow yourself to write each day. Don't stop doing something you love!!!

muse is good but its a little close minded to say that they are the best ever. even muse will say that they were inspired by some great artists.

an iambographer (if such a thing exists) would be a person or machine whom records or draws up meter and rythm as it applies to lyrics or poetry. \n\nThink: "Iambic meter" meets "lithographer" or "photographer"\n\nThis word is not in the Oxford or Websters dictionary but those are not as accurate or useful as they used to be.
