I agree, it's a tough one but if you're writing more and feeling more inspired it's definitely a win!

I don't have a muse. Should I be concerned? 🤔

Beverley Lee @beverleylee.bsky.social · May 21

My muse is a fine balance between highly judgemental as she knows all my secrets & that one aunt who always slipped you the best chocolate from the Quality Street tin at Christnas.
Small and slightly rotund, she has the piercing eyes of a golden eagle & smells of peppermint 😏
