		<description><![CDATA[by Kim Hooper In writing, there is much discussion of “the muse.” Who is it? Do we wait for him/her/it to appear, or go to work anyway? Does the fact that we talk to this muse make us schizophrenic? When I think of my muse, I think of a very lazy queen, sitting atop her [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://writersinnerjourney.com/2011/05/relationship-conundrum-the-fiction-writer-and-her-muse.html' addthis:title='Relationship conundrum: The fiction writer and her muse ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Kim Hooper Since I was a kid, I’ve thought of “journal” as more of a verb than a noun. Some kids played handball, some skipped rope, some chased boys; I journaled.
