I appreciate this opportunity to consider them in my messy trunk of writing tools. <br /><br />I have a fondness for Cassandra - blessed and cursed by the same god. And Penelope with her weaving - thanks for that reminder, Gail. <br /><br />Karen, I look forward to reading more.Verna Wilderhttp://www.vernawilder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337494610769031999.post-37174136651807672542011-04-18T08:42:07.299-06:002011-04-18T08:42:07.299-06:00Karen, thanks for your original perspective on the...Karen, thanks for your original perspective on these influential forces! I sometimes feel I'm weaving and weaving my book, like Penelope while she waits for Odysseus to find his way home from his publishing odyssey. ;-DGail Storeyhttp://gailstorey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337494610769031999.post-72940508185941445172011-04-18T00:36:53.202-06:002011-04-18T00:36:53.202-06:00Hi Karen!

I do now! <br /><br />My mythological selves as a writer? Cassandra, definitely, for non-fiction. Odysseus (perhaps) for fiction. I'd like to think my plot twists, character arcs, and embedded themes are clever. But also like Odysseus (whom Athena called "The Trickster"), I'm a long way from Ithaca metaphorically with the Symplegades still to come.jperrykellyhttp://www.quantumfires.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337494610769031999.post-34750334426867979502011-04-17T18:24:25.137-06:002011-04-17T18:24:25.137-06:00We just had a Greek gods and goddesses party for m...We just had a Greek gods and goddesses party for my daughter's 12th birthday. I read a bunch of Greek mythology with her as we prepared activities for the event. (It's wild stuff, says the science major!) So thanks for your timely post! I love how you've described the roles of the muses in our writing lives.Kathleen Christensenhttp://headintheclouds.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
