I want to feel good about the words I put down on the page. That being said, I don't write for the choir.

It reads like a beautiful, heartfelt prayer of thanks. Personally, I don't think I could write what I do without Him and I can tell when He's in my pen.

I've also had the experience of being surprised as I write. Some of my characters arrive in a story and I have no idea how I thought them up, though, I find they make the story work. I agree, Rachna, that the "muse" is a messenger from deep deep within, a source that's spiritual, and not just cerebral.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-26266032593162140942010-09-21T07:20:30.340-07:002010-09-21T07:20:30.340-07:00For me, that experience comes when I'm not loo...For me, that experience comes when I'm not looking for it. The half-consciousness between dreaming and waking, for instance, or when my mind is wandering (in the shower, lying on my back in tall grass watching clouds, floating). It also happens, oddly enough, when I'm writing. I set off down one path, thinking that I know where I'm going with the story, when a bit of dialogue pops out of a character's mouth and I pull up short and ask him "Where did THAT come from?"Lia Keyeshttp://liakeyes.comnoreply@blogger.com
