the muse's mirth

[marycatelli]

So I was scribbling along on a story at lunch and went dry -- went poking among the old stories --

Nothing much seemed to flow.

Poking at an old outline.  It started to flow.

So I made some character name notes, and winced.  Because the names were Minette (the heroine), Madame Miranda Magnifico, Minerva the owl, and Mistress Violetta Mysterio.  (Oooo -- a V!)

And those are literally the only characters whose names I know.

I think the muse thinks this is funny.
