Your post made me homesick for San Miguel de Allende and your wonderful writing class! I can understand how the vibrancy and color of Mexico is an inspiring muse.
And also, that photo of me: it was taken in between dental appointments where I was getting my teeth fixed. That's why I look like I have weird giant teeth. They aren't my real teeth! Anyway, I'm probably the only one who noticed so forgive my vanity.
What a creative writing prompt.
My muses:? The ocean? The sea lions? My deceased mother? My ancestors? Still thinking...
Go on podcasts!
Alice Neel is one of my muses! So glad to hear you love her too!
"not your mom"? hmmm...
Love this essay! It's brilliant!
great, now I can't stop thinking about my muse but, also, great essay.
Great!! Love you and all of it.

This piece is so brilliant and incisive especially on the issue of gender and muses! (My muse is dead friends and my unquiet mind, btw.)
I love especially the beautiful "Write to your Mexico" paragraph.

The way you write about Mexico is stunningly beautiful. You should write a memoir about your Mexico years!
Love this. And I loved Tigrillo (one of the best of all dogs!)
Wonderful essay. Is it okay if I don’t have a muse?
