Just great. It's absolutely AGGRAVATING!!!!

Okay, so my muse for Dance of the Magpie's back and my fingers have been itching to at least get down chapters 4 and 5, but I have no idea how to start ch. 4. Ugh! What say you guys, hmm? Should I go ahead and keep going with Eriu, or should I switch over to a surprise character?

For those of you guys who are new and/or haven't met me yet, I'm writing a book that's chalk full of Celtic mythology. Here's the link if you guys are interested: Dance of the Magpie

;A; Oh, this is just awful. Every year, I go on a huge camping trip (HUGE. There are 50+ people here right now.), and it always gives me at least a little bit of muse for writing... This year, nothing. At all. Grrrah. I need to write. I haven't in a really long time.

Ugh, don't you hate that? Especilly, like you said, when you haven't written in a long time. e.e It's very nerve grating, I know. Although, with that many people around I think I'd be going crazy every year as opposed to having muse. xD. But I wish you luck, because there are few things worse than having no muse after so long without writing.

On a side note, gosh. I've just been stalking this thread basically since I joined. I'm finally posting something again, and I'm hoping that I might more frequently now. There have been lots of things that I've wanted to respond to, but just haven't. xD.

Same here. I've had literally NO muse all Summer, except for little bits for roleplaying, so I hope going back to school will give me some of that.

Bleh. I suffered more of that last summer. This year, thankfully, I've had more muse for writing than role playing. Since I've started school, though, it has seemed to either fizzle my muse entirely or make feel as though I have to write or the earth will explode. xD. School sometimes makes me feel like I have to get something written down for the time it takes away from me. So maybe you're like me and that'll happen. But, if you want, I can perhaps give you a little bit of advice.

I'm really happy with my muse this summer, actually, having a bit of a muse time at the moment. finally ^^
School is actually quite good for muse in my case, as I have english lessons [because I live in a non english country] and I always finish miles before anyone else = time for writing.
I haven't started this [school] year though, so I'll have to see how it goes (:

Try listening to a song, maybe on your way home from school or just at home, and writing down the first thing that comes into your head, regardless if it is related ot the song or not. it may come in useful sometime. Or, try writing down your thoughts on a write of paper for a set time - about 5 to ten minutes is usually good. don't stop to think if possible, just write out your thoughts, and sometimes you'll get something worth keeping.

Hope I could help,
Holly

Thanks; that's brilliant advice. In my school last year, our Language Arts teacher gave us free writing time once a week, and she read us poems and books before that, so that was extremely helpful for me then.

I've been thinking about this plot for a while but I'm not sure if it's to boring or cliche, what do you think?
So it basically starts with a boy who has ran out on a fight with his parents, and is staying out to try to worry them. He falls asleep in a doorway, and he wakes up in a forest.
Next to him asleep is a minatour, and a small winged fairy/sprite girl.
They wake up and find out this is a different world, a world of runaway creatures from all worlds. However the boy didn't intend on running away for good. The story follows him and the two others as they learn how to live and help him try to go home.
