Martini Moments… While Waiting for a Muse
1. Waiting for a Muse is like watching grass grow. Or paint dry. Full of clichés, similes and metaphors which you immediately discard in favour of a blank fluoro screen. Or pale green grass. Or moonlight mist paint.
2. Can a man possess a huge ego and still be utterly likeable?
3. To be a good writer, one must be a good reader. But an avid reader does not necessarily make a good writer. Or a good critic.
4. Is “chick lit” sometimes used as a derogatory term because it sounds as naughty as ordering a Dirty Martini?
5. “Oh, I nearly forgot. The cocktail hour can be longer than an hour.”* So is the wait for a Muse…
