Welcome to the first work in progress post. I’ve decided to start right from the very beginning with this one – at the moment The Midnight Muse is simply an idea. Inspiration came from a few places for this, the mythology of the Leanan Sidhe and the dark side of creativity, the creative drive itself, and driven artists who died young or went mad. Think VanGogh and Brett Whiteley…
This is how The Midnight Muse begins, with a little story…
The Midnight Muse
She is the dangerous muse, the one that has you leaping out of bed at strange hours, head full of ideas and an itch to create. She can be intoxicating, and if treated with care and caution can inspire wonders. But beware, for you are her blank canvas as much as she is your muse….. and you don’t want to know what she has planned for you. Sleepless nights over weeks and months, neglecting friends or family or food, forgetting who you are… these are all warning signs that you are in too deep, and need to reconnect with reality and life before you are hers forever.
This is a fantastic write-up. I must include you to my RSS list.
