Another round with the muses

[cicer]

So, wow. The Muses are really giving it to my this week. Apparently they only agree to be helpful (in other words, actually let me write anything) if they can annoy the heck out of me while the do it. WTF, Muses. That's not really being helpful. The following is a conversation I found myself having with the little writing gremlins that live inside my head. I'm not as crazy as I sound, really. Probbably. Maybe.

393 Muse: HI.

Me: No. No, no, no.

393 Muse: I LOVE YOU PLEASE WRITE ME.

Me: No. I don't have time. Go away.

393 Muse: WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME AND GIVE ME A HOME.

Me: You are not on the Schedule. Remember the Schedule? Where I made that big plan of what I was going to write over the next few months, to maximize my Writerly Potential and organize all the bunnies living in my head? Remember that?

393 Muse:...LOVE ME.

Me: NO. You were being cranky the day I made the Schedule. You weren't cooperating. So you got stuck way at the bottom of the priority list. Deal with it.

393 Muse:...Look, one half of my pairing is Sanzo. What do you want from me?

Me: It's not my fault that Hakkai and Gojyo are so much more coopertive.

393 Muse: *smugly* Usually.

Me:...Yeah, okay, they've kind of abandoned me right now.

393 Muse: *even more smugly* Because you made them fight. And you made Gojyo sleep with someone else. So they're not talking to you right now, are they?

Me: *sulkily* No.

393 Muse: *if I were any more smug, I would implode* In fact, it looks like I'm the only Muse talking to you right now, doesn't it?

Me: *looks around suddenly desolate mindscape* Dammit.

393 Muse: Well. Except for that. *gestures to tiny crazed rabid bunny gnawing determinedly at the Writer's ankle*

Me: Oh, that? That's not a muse. That's the Spawn of Satan, also known as the Camp Fuck You Die bunny. Ignore him, maybe he'll go away.

393 Muse: ...WRITE ME I LOVE YOU?

Me:...I think about it.

393 Muse: SCORE!

Me: *headdesks* Pwned once again.

LOL. *Encourage your 393 muse* The latest chapter of Gaiden/Zero Sum at RFB. *whistle innocently*

Shhh! Don't encourage it! It'll keep my so busy, I may never be able to sleep again! *hides under the bed*

You know reading this conversation was almost as good as reading a fic ;-). Your muse is very, eh, amusing :p.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, I'm glad somebody's amused by it! *sends muse an evil glare*

[mainekosama.livejournal.com]

But, but, she LOVES you :p!

[cicer.livejournal.com]

Yes, but not in the good way! Bad touch, Muse! BAD TOUCH.

*laughs* Oh that's adorable! Which I can only say because I know that feeling. Best of luck dealing with your muse?

[cicer.livejournal.com]

*clings to you in solidarity of writerly pain* They're so mean to me! *emo tear!*

[toscas-kiss.livejournal.com]

[snickers unsympathetically] ;-D

[cicer.livejournal.com]

You mock my PAIN! D:

[hungry-worm.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed that far too much. *smirks* What a pushy yet loveable and far too smug muse. XD

This is a conflict of interest *shifty eyes* GO MUSE! *cough* I mean... poor muse-stalked cicer! *smooches*

I can't help but think that the "one half of my pairing is Sanzo"-argument is hard to counter... ;D

[cicer.livejournal.com]

*kicks muse* Damn annoying things! XD

And my Sanzo is the worst bitch of any muse I've ever come across, really. 90% he refuses to work with me at all, which is why I don't often write Sanzo-fic, and the other 10% he grabs me by the throat and demands that I write him NOW.

By contrast, by Goku muse is incredibly easily distracted by something shiny, which is why I don't write much Goku-fic, because he wanders off before I can get much down.

I do love and adore my Gojyo muse, though, because he is always up for some pr0n. And he's easy. And I do mean that as a double-entendre. XD It's just sometimes hard to reconcile that with my Hakkai muse, who just wants to angst all the time.

Ah, those boys! They're so predictable!

393 Muse: Hey, you want her to write me, yes?

Me: Yes, Cicer must write 393. Guilty Pleasure OTP.

393 Muse: ~ beams ~

Me: ~ pokes Cicer ~

Darn you people for encouraging the muses! XD I think they'll win, actually, because I've been writing 85 virually nonstop for the last couple months, and those poor boys are getting a little worn out. So they might need a break. *sighs* The muses always win!
