What's My Muse? by Donna

Donna Cooner 2 Sunday, March 24, 2013

This week we look at maintaining our muses.  


What is your muse?  A piece of music?  A person?  A piece of art?

We'd love to hear what inspires you to look at, to listen to, to be with...


In my case this seems to be the truth:




But if all else fails, I recommend chocolate!  Get it?  Chocolate muse!  (I crack myself up)


Ok.  Back to deadline.

Happy Musing!!

Awesome pun, Donna. :)

I get inspired by music - lately, old Scottish ballads. Poetry is another muse. Walking through a museum. That creative spark others have, sometimes jumps to me.

Music, poetry, and quotes...but mostly I am inspired by the beautiful sights of a long drive.
