If I have a muse, she definitely hangs out in the shower and it's amazing how many problems get solved there. Sometimes it means I need to change something about the story, or spend time getting into a character's head. (less)

It's going to need a cover and cover copy and an expected publication date and all that good stuff.

The Dubious Joys of Decluttering

Yes, decluttering is GOOD. And we probably all feel better once it's done, right? Except for some of us, it's hard, okay? YES, I need all of these things. And I need them right here where I can see them so I know where they are.  

DON’T MESS WITH MY CHAOS

I THRIVE ON CHAOS. I EAT CHAOS FOR BREAKFAST. IT'S ORGANIZED CHAOS, ALL RIGHT?

Except. It’s true that chaos gets in the way of creativity a

“Let your heart travel lightly. Because what you bring with you becomes part of the landscape.”
Anne Bishop, Sebastian

Stephen  King
“There is a muse, but he’s not going to come fluttering down into your writing room and scatter creative fairy-dust all over your typewriter or computer. He lives in the ground. He’s a basement kind of guy. You have to descend to his level, and once you get down there you have to furnish an apartment for him to live in. You have to do all the grunt labor, in other words, while the muse sits and smokes cigars and admires his bowling trophies and pretends to ignore you. Do you think it’s fair? I think it’s fair. He may not be much to look at, that muse-guy, and he may not be much of a conversationalist, but he’s got inspiration. It’s right that you should do all the work and burn all the mid-night oil, because the guy with the cigar and the little wings has got a bag of magic. There’s stuff in there that can change your life. Believe me, I know.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
