Some of us writers, then, are like a clerk-typist who sits at the word processor waiting for the muse to nudge us. We may write something, read it, and think it is pretty good, but then that voice tells us it won't do. We tear it up or delete it and go back to work. So, pretty much, we are waiting for the muse, trying to listen for her directions and approval. Those directions and words of approval tend to be faint, but they continue until she is satisfied.When I started to write this story, I honestly did not know where it would go -- where the muse would take it. But, I went ahead. And the result surprises me. You see Calliope didn't just urge a story on me or out of me. She took me for a wild bit of a ride.For as I wrote, I sort of fell in love with the people she crafted on these pages.Maybe, as you read this story, you'll fall in love a bit too.I hope so.Frank
