AND we give them names! AND we talk to them! It is all so much fun isn't it??! http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-348 chrisz Fri, 26 Feb 2010 07:41:44 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-348 Erika- I'm so happy that my post was able to give you... and your wonderfully moody muse.... permission to just be. And there's nothing that those muses hate more than being rushed (-: http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-347 Erika Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:26:16 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-347 Thank you for writing this wonderful post! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted and I can relax and wait for my moody muse to tell me what she wants me to do. No rush, I'll wait. She is good, all she wants is my attention and just like you've said, she wants me to trust her. http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-346 chrisz Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:26:05 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-346 Thanks Wulfie! Hanging out with Fabeku always makes me feel MUCH more cool!!! Dovelily- It means more than I can say to know that I'm not alone in this process!! Arlene- I'm glad that what I write speaks to you. I think that the issues around the creative process are just so universal so that's why it feels like I'm in your head. These processes go on in ALL our heads (-:. And I would LOVE IT if you could come to one of my workshops at some point. I know that we would have a fabulous time together!! Dave- Yes, agonizing is exactly the right word. And I write these posts primarily for ME to remember some of these principals. I'm just glad that what helps me can also help out other folks in our creativity tribe!! Jane- Of course our muses are related! They are all part of one big creative muse family!! Thanks so much for stopping by. http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-345 jane Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:57:31 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-345 this just opens my heart - bowing down to both you and your muse (who might be related to my muse i think!) http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-344 Dave Rowley Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:22:15 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-344 Hi Chris, What a great post! LOVE the title :) The idea of our muses being separate from us feels so right. And what a relief too--all that agonizing and planning and attempting to control the creative process can be so draining. The idea that we can just let go and allow our muse to sweep in with their awesomeness is very liberating. Now, if i could just learn to remember that more often ... http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-343 Arlene Holtz Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:22:24 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-343 Oh my gosh, Chris - I SO identify with your post! You have put into very succinct words exactly how I feel when I enter into a new creative project. I love to read your newsletter / blog posts because I know it is always going to be a description of what I have had going on inside my head too! How do you do it? Thanks so much for your honesty and courage to share all of this with us. One of my goals (for years now) is to attend one of your workshops. I would so love to meet you and experience your energy in person! Hugs and love - http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-342 Dovelily Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:11:30 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-342 Chris, thank you for sharing your inner creative turmoil with us all. I think my muse is your muse's twin sister. Just as unpredictable, cranky, flighty as yours, and also just as brilliant. We all have a way of standing in our own way sometimes. Kudos to you for recognizing what's happening, and for being brave enough to be vulnerable with your readers. You have more company than you think! *Hugs* http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/love-the-muse-youre-with/comment-page-1/#comment-341 Wulfie Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:40:10 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=4121#comment-341 Totally awesome post! I'm right there with you. Thanks for this post. I wish I could be at the Workshop you and Fabeku are doing but it's an impossibility. Good luck. I know he rocks and if he's hanging with you, YOU must rock too.
