I am a goddess
But no damn muse
I've searched for one
But cannot choose
I posted a profile
On an online muse app
I wanted to find one
But found nothing but crap
So now I've decided
What's best for me
Is to inspire my writing
By drinking whiskey


This was written for Brad at Writing to Freedom, for his “muse party” celebrating his birthday today. He asked writers to summon their fictional muse characters. Apparently that’s a thing among seasoned bloggers here, which I am not…yet. I haven’t created a fictional muse character but I’m currently inspired by whiskey in all kinds of ways, so I’m going with that. Happy birthday! Over-60 is fabulous!π« #MuseFest2021
All photos my own.

No, you were correct. The sugar is dissolved in the bourbon and then the liquor is poured over crushed ice. Yum.

Love the photos, and that whiskey concoction looks pretty intriguing! Clearly you’re enjoying your internship. Was that drink an “at work perk” or homework?

I have a mercenary muse too that my usual muse subs out to when I’m not writing enough. Lol. I love being a writer. It’s like being a kid. Thanks for the visit and have a wonderful week. Happy Writing!

Is it just coincidence, or is it significant that muse rhymes with booze? π€£ You are truly inspirational!!
