“Do you ever get bored,” I asked?

“No,” she replied, a surprised look on her lovely face, “do you”?

“Oh yes, sometimes. I seem to descend into a melancholy state and
no words come for a while.”

She smiled wickedly, a slight smirk spreading across those
classic features. “Maybe it’s when I go on vacation that this
happens to you.”

“Vacation? You go on vacation? I didn’t know that.”

“Oh yes indeed. You don’t think I sit around all the time waiting
for you to get an idea do you”?

“Aren’t you supposed to help me get motivated to write”?

“Pegasus, you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”,
watching me closely for a reaction to her barb.

“I resent that, Adverse. Some of the things I write aren’t THAT
bad”!

“Sure, the ones I help you with. The others, well...”  letting
her voice trail off to a low whisper for effect.

“Now you made me mad,” I responded.

“Just for that, I’m going to write a lovely piece without your
help. That will show you I really don’t need you,” as my face
reddened.

“And that, my dear Pegasus, is called motivation by a muse.”

With a grin on her face, she turned slowly and walked away,
knowing I was still standing there with my mouth open,
speechless.

“Women,” I muttered under my breath.

“You haven’t heard the last of this,” I shouted to an empty
garden.

“Not by a long shot,” declaring to no one in particular, as I
began to write.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Methinks, that muse of yours, must have been a mother in another lifetime.  Sounds like she knows exactly how to motivate and to get a person to be independent.

i swear we have the same muse and I think mine has gone on a perminant vacation

I'm wise enough now not to let cool get to me.
