My Muse came to visit me this morning. It went something like this:
Muse: Hi Doug. How's it going?

M: Well, I do have...(reaches into a fold of her skimpy toga)..THIS!
D: Wait, isn't that....
M: Yes! An entire new beginning for your book!
D: But I'm already over thirty thousand words into...
M: But look how *spar...
