Fi asked me: how did you get into writing stories like you do...
and I said (very long winded, but it's how I know it to be as far as the muses will reveal)
ah, speaking of my babies. okay, well they aren't mine, they're the muses, I'm their surrogate/adoptive mummy. I don't know. When I was younger I would write stories based off other stories we read in school, taking them beyond the ending. And then I started meeting other writers, one of whom I am sadly no longer in contact with (not sure why, lost each other I'm afraid), who critiqued my work and told me what I was doing wrong and such. I also learned from the muses, who came streaming in as I grew (37 boss muses, many minions, but I usually say 37 because they're the ones who give me everything), and since they often bring guests I learn from them. I guess I would say it's just a gift that these women and men from another galaxy have brought me, like Tori says her Muse brings her 'girls'. longwinded but....I don't know, writing has just always been a part of me, and became a bigger one over the past four years, and like Tori said, her songs demand respect or they won't come. My muses want their children treated with respect, so I had to learn to write them properly or I wouldn't recieve them anymore, and I'd be left with a big old empty.
