Working With Muse  

Posted by Shauna Clair

In the beginning of the class, I wasn't sure how I felt about the "muse" writing that we were going to be doing for the rest of the semester. After the first time I sat down and "checked in with my muse" it was really interesting and things came out of it that I never thought I would write. Since then I have really enjoyed doing the muse work.

I think my favorite was when we did the muse write to music because my thoughts just kept flowing and afterwards when I began to put my poem together it amazed me to see what I had actually created throughout listening to a simple song. I love how my feelings just come out when I don't try to contain them. Even if i don't use everything that came to me at first it still feels good to me to write down how I am feeling at the time or what things and ideas the exercise brings into my mind. Overall I have continued to really like writing with my muse and I think I can continue working on it as well.

I felt the same way that you did when we first had to check in with our muse. It was suprising how helpful it was.

Nice. I'm really glad that music can help some people with the muse. I myself find it distracting, but what ever works right? I does feel awesome to create something from nothing.
