Muse Alert - Yellow

Disgruntled muses are rising in protest (see comments under the "Clio and Thalia" post). It has surfaced that a rogue group--The Rustitilians--is trying to be heard. It appears that they inspire pedicures. I'll bet the Rustitilians have something to do with the expensive shoes on _Sex in the City_. Maybe they are part of the MuseForce! Welcome Rustitilians!

Put a Muse to Work

Pick a muse, any muse. Go to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse#Muses_in_myth) or (http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/mgodsandgoddesses/tp/Muses.htm) or another internet resource to find information about your muse.

Now write a situation where the muse shows up to give the main character something. For instance, if I were the muse Multiplicia (there is really no muse by that name, but pretend that Multiplicia is the muse of math). I might bring the main character in my story, who is an accountant, a special gift. What is the gift? It's An old adding machine, owned by the wealthiest man in the town before he died, with a yellowed printout still in the roller. What’s the accountant going to do with that??

See, that’s the start of a story. Write an outline for your story or poem. (DO NOT use Multiplicia, she's mine.)

Paparazzi Update

It has been reported that the Deep Blue Muse has locked herself up in Davy Jones's Locker, imbibing giant squid ink as she literally sinks into the depths of the blues. Reliable informants report that they have heard strains of "Hey Jude" near the Bermuda Triangle. Really, someone should add a comment to "The Rise of the Deep Blue Muse" post below. Have a heart and save a muse.

Clio and Thalia: At it again . . .

Clio and Thalia work as a team to show how humans impact old structures.  Clio contributes inspiration with the historical structure, and Thalia adds the inspiration for the fun stuff -- as usual: Enjoy the collaboration between the muses and the humans in this video.

Fall of the Deep Blue Muse

She sinks below depths unexplored and mourns because no one finds her musings worthy of comment.

Why MuseForce?

The point of this blog is to gather the most creative thinkers and build inspirations for all of us who visit.

The idea is to deliver spots of inspiration for all of us to use for a creative writing piece, a painting or photo, a new business, or a class assignment. Please join in and support our endeavor. All who visit and contribute are part of the MuseForce. No age limits.

Paparazzi Update

Respected sources have identified the Blogger Muse bathing in full 1920s swimwear, in Bath, England. Such uninhibited behavior suggests that this muse may be the famed Muse 10, who is actively trying to recruit a Muse 11. The search for Muse 11 has brought out unusual behavior in Muse 10 DATELINE: 9/12/09

Rise of the Deep Blue Muse

Someone sent us a photo of a dive she made in Bonaire recently, and there is a Butterfly fish in the center. We started thinking about how fish have (or have not) influenced movies, literature, TV, etc.

At first, we thought that fish have been poorly neglected as Muses.

The Deep Blue Muse surfaced to tout her successes: Moby Dick, Flipper, . . . You fill in the blanks. Add to the Muses's accomplishments through your comments, else she may rebel and withhold her inspirations.
