We writers would be lost without our muses
(Inspiration). We put up with all their tantrums, their erratic behaviour of
dropping in at the most inopportune times, their mood swings and sometimes their flirty behaviour. All for the sake of getting our stories written.
Just imagine if one day our muses would go away on a
long holiday, without a warning. I am sure that would be a nightmare situation
for all of us.
I thought I would do a fun post today. I have no
idea why, but I have always considered my muse to be a guy. I have given my
muse a name, an image and a personality. Today, I will introduce you all to me
muse. If my muse were to emerge from the depths of my imagination, he would
look like the accompanying picture and embrace all these qualities.
Meet my muse (he is completely a figment of my over
active imagination)
Name:
Siddharth (Ever since I came to know that Lord Buddha’s name was
Siddharth, I fell in love with this name)
Height : 6 feet tall (it would make my muse close to
my dad’s height)
Colour : Fair
Hair : Black.
Body Type : Athletic with a six pack abs.
Profession : I am undecided about this aspect, but I
would definitely prefer it if he does something Intellectual (Intelligent guys
appeal to me ;) )
Nature : Calm, Supportive and Generous.
Hobbies : Reading, Plays a musical instrument and
loves sports (not just watching it on T.V but actually getting all sweaty).
Hope you all enjoyed meeting my muse. Now be good
and introduce me to all your muses. Go wild, Go Crazy. Remember to give your
muses a name and a body type and hobbies etc.
Picture Courtesy – As I could not find a suitable
picture to go with my imagination, I have taken Bollywood Hearththrob Hrithik
Roshan’s picture from one of the online sites, as he came closest to matching
my imagination.
Ha, I wouldn't kick him out of my writing space :) Hubba hubba. Daydreams here I come.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend Rachna.
This WAS a fun post. Hmm. Sporty, intellectual, and plays a musical instrument. I would guess a storyteller, too, right? After all, he IS your muse. He should be whispering story lines into your ear. :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of my muse as a person. It's more of a mysterious telepathy that suggests the direction I should follow.
ReplyDeleteYou just described me! Yeah, just kidding.
ReplyDeleteMine has gone on holiday before. That's never fun.
Oh my goodness. If my muse looked like that, I'd never get any work done. No, my muse is a cranky old lady who looks a bit like the wicked witch from The Wizard of Oz. She sits on my shoulder and nags me to get back to work. I can't get rid of her until I sit down at the computer. open the file for my wip, and start typing.
ReplyDeleteGood. I need to learn more about character sketch and character development.

Not bad, Rachna! For a moment I thought I was reading a matrimonial ad:)
ReplyDeleteHaha. At first I thought Hrithik was your Muse. I wished I had one but now, I will have to think about it :)
ReplyDeleteIn terms of hobbies, I would definitely like someone with a good singing voice :) If I put it your way, the singer "Shaan" :D
My muse is female and flaky and she does take long holidays. I have to go and track her down ... or is that just an excuse to go travelling?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! If I had your muse, I wouldn't be able to get any work done. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo how come my muse looks wimpy with wild hair? Where did I go wrong?
ReplyDeleteSuper hot muse!
ReplyDeleteI've not given this much thought. I can see where it would be a good writing exercise. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a good-looking muse. I have the distinct sensation I have a different muse for each book or that she changes per season, especially since I switch genres and have changed my writing habits.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice. I can't think of anyone right now.....
ReplyDeleteHehehe yeah I would NOT mind if he was my muse and dropped by every now and then. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi friends, I agree with you all that with such a hottie as a muse, I seldom get any writing done. I think I need to get a new muse, who will be less of an distraction ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! Hot muse indeed Rachna! Loved your post, real fun.
