Spring semester
The new semester begins this week. I enjoy my classes and my students, but dread the resumption of meetings and paperwork and high academic drama. My muse has been especially active lately, I think in self defense. The more other work I ought to be doing, the more she insists that I write, dammit.
I picture my muse as a middle-aged, gray-haired lady in a dominatrix outfit. She has a riding crop in her hand and she does not accept excuses. And she has zero patience for meetings.

She does have a sense of humor, my muse, but usually at my expense. :-)
and you HAD to put that image into my head? *giggles*
She's in my head all the time--I had to share. I think she look a little like a cross between Meryl Streep and Kathy Bates, only with longish curly gray hair.
If you replace the dominatrix outfit with a staid dress, and the riding crop with a ruler, she sounds just like my former fifth-grade teacher.
LOL! Maybe she had a secret life you didn't know about.
