Well, the list is pretty quiet... and I have writer's

block.



As I find that writing something, anything, is the

best way for me to get over writer's block, I've been

scribbling down almost anything that crosses my mind. 



Hence, this. It's not *really* a fanfic, but it does

cover fanficcing, so I thought I'd share. (The thought

that it might appease those people who have been

writing me 'letters' about Starlit Reflections ch. 8

*has* crossed my mind. ~_^) 



Please enjoy.



Raye

It's All In The Writing



by Raye Johnsen

raye_j@yahoo.com



     In an overdimension beyond the reach of the Worlds, various

Muses were conversing.



     "I tell you, you haven't seen anything until his turn comes

up. I honestly think he'd burn incense to me if he thought it

would help."



     "Come on! She begs *me* for inspiration daily."



     "What the hell were you SMOKING when you sent him *that*, 

and why won't you SHARE??!"



     Certain others were fulfilling the funtion of Muses, and

sending their charges inspiration. It was almost certainly a

coincidence that they'd crafted the ideas in the shapes of darts.



     "GOT HIM!"



     "Five says you can't get her right between the eyes!"



     "I'll take that bet... AAARGH!"



     "You're really raking it in..."



     Except for the ones who were just dropping the ideas onto

their responsibility's head.



     POK. POK. POK. 



     "Having fun?"



     "Yep."



     "Why are you doing it like this?"



     "It's fun watching her when she tries to write four things

at once while watching a video to research another one."



     "You're cruel."



     "I know."



     POK. POK. POK.



     They gathered in shows...



     "I'll send him *this* for the next one! What do you think?"



     "I think you've outdone yourself."



     "I thought you'd take a break after your last series."



     "You just want to get rid of the competition!"



     And genres...



     "Look, you can't *do* that. I sent the same idea to her."



     "Comedy follows basic rules. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl,

boy encounters crazies while getting girl back."



     "Times have changed!"



     But it all comes down to one thing.



     "YOUR responsibility wrote THIS?!"



     It's all in the writing.
