Slightly Impromptu... The Pandemic Affair Challenge

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Okay, for those of you who are stuck in some sort of writing drought, I'm here to offer you hope.  We are told to write what we know, and these days, everyone is a bit of an expert on this topic. So, I offer to you an opportunity to explore within the framework of The Man from UNCLE, the very current, very lived ...

Minimum... no minimum. Give us a short story, an epic novel or a drabble.  The goal is to write, and quite talking about muses.  Just sit down and put something on paper, that's how you start.  

Let me tell you a story about muses.  

When I was sidelined from salon work after developing asthma, unable to stay in an environment full of chemicals and, at the time, smoking, I started watching Bob Ross on the television.  I had been an art major in college, and one of many who ended up with a cosmetology license because it afforded some sort of creative outlet that might actually provide a living.  As I watched dear, sweet Bob, I kept saying to myself...

"I'd like to paint.  I really want to paint."

And so I watched the shows and talked to myself about painting, until one day, I heard a different voice say to me...

"Just pick up a brush and start painting."

Revelation.  And so I did, and I painted and then I started painting murals and, well, you get the idea.  Just sit down and write something.  Anything, until you get your rhythm back and you have something in front of you that pleases you.

Now, we have a challenge that you can work on and post any time, without a due date. As you see from the graphic above, the topic is pandemic and the characters are ...

... WAITING ON YOU ALL!

So, ready, set... write!

I'm going to whisper this (because I don't want to scare her off), but my muse poked her head around the door yesterday and gave me the germ of an idea for the picfic. I'm trying to tempt her out with cake and vodka. Hopefully, I'll be able to write the story over the next few days.
