She's down to, like, two pounds from starvation, says you won't let her eat until she's written a brilliant piece for you. She says she never gets out, you won't even let her get a haircut, which is why her locks are practically <I>dragging</I> to the ground. It's so pathetic. I told her I'm setting up a get-away, a refuge if you will, for all the muses you've abused in the past. I'm sending her air fare, I'll come down there if need be to rescue her. Maybe then you'll learn how to treat a muse properly you MUSE ABUSER YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21779111.post-1149520645976449572006-06-05T10:17:00.000-05:002006-06-05T10:17:00.000-05:00Beverly, thank you!!Camera Shy, it is a good idea,...Beverly, thank you!!<BR/><BR/>Camera Shy, it is a good idea, except, we have to work with them.<BR/><BR/>Joyce, I guess it is writing about writing.
