Muse

Posted on February 19th, 2010 | 12 comments

Every writer needs a muse. And I’m currently at a place where I need mine. I’m taking Friday off from the blogosphere to get some much needed a-muse-ment.
My traditional muse is a woman, someone sexy, vibrant, and fun. Whether she’s sending me dirty text messages, begging for sex on the side of the road on [...]

My teen daughter and I watched the Julie & Julia movie on DVD the other night, and since it’s about blogging and writing and cooking and getting published, I figured I’d weigh in with my movie review.
