goosing the muse, so to speak

Okay, so this isn't exactly a goose - but I couldn't come up with anything snappy about a duck.

The 29 Day Gift Challenge I've set myself to has done one definite thing ... it has gotten me to write every day.  (See Lisa Fisk Blog)


I haven't done any of what I'd call high level gift giving, but it has made me be more thoughtful and it has gotten me to engage my fingers at the keyboard and let ideas flow.

I've also turned on the music that used to engage the muse ... Jose Jose might not work for some people, but as a Latin Crooner (70s/80s vintage), he makes for lovely background music.  Besides, I think the muse got a little too attached to Alejandro Fernandez a year or so ago, so we are reversing back just a little bit.
