Liz Maverick has a cool post over on Magical Musings. I was laughing pretty hard while I was reading but at the end, waddya know, the message was darn uplifting. Easy things you can do to get yourself in front of the keyboard. Check it out.

So, here's the muses:

• Calliope: Chief of the muses and muse of epic poetry


• Euterpe: lyric song


• Clio: history


• Erato: erotic poetry


• Melpomene: tragedy


• Polyhymnia: sacred song


• Terpsichore: dance


• Thalia: comedy and bucolic poetry


• Urania: astronomy

The question for me is, which one is the Muse of Romance writers? Calliope, Erato, Melpomene or Thalia?

Gee, no wonder it feels so crowded around here, what with the dog and the cats wanting lap space and all the muses fighting over who gets to inspire me.

Anyway, like Liz (if she's not telling a big fat whopper) I, too, have a voice to frighten people witless which kind of put a crimp in my plan to become a lounge singer. But that doesn't stop me from singing along to my favorite writing songs. Yay. Apparently, Liz's is Vanilla Ice (maniacal laughter from Carolyn). Currently, I've been singing along to most of the songs on Alan Jackson's Like Red On a Rose. What's your sing-along-music?
