Equal Opportunistic Employer Seeking Slave

Posted in Red Whine on November 4, 2004 | Permalink | Comments (9)

Ever felt as if every last creative thought has forsaken you?

No, of course YOU haven't. Grrrr.

Anyway, it's official: I've been forsaken, which is why I'm in the market for a few new (but I'd even settle for secondhand) bright ideas.

So I'm in desperate need of a Muse. Preferably one (or more. NOT that I'm greedy or anything) in handsome, masculine form (NOT that I'm shallow or anything).

Granted, I already have a boy, but he isn't always around when inspiration swiftly departs with a one-way ticket elsewhere.

So, any takers? The pay is lousy - okay, non-existent - the hours erratic; the employer's a ~~procrastinating slacker who grossly overuses parentheses and almost every other form of punctuation~~ sensitive individual whose creativity was stifled at a tender age; and even though you'd never say so from looking at said employer, the food pickings are slim (well, unless the boy's home, 'cause yes, along with his other talents, he cooks too); but there is always some coffee brewing and something hopping bee-bopping on the digital turntable.

Hmmm not male so clearly don't qualify... actually, I am in the market for one too, even better, in the market for both a boy AND a muse! Maybe there is an online muse directory ...

Speaking from experience a muse is not tha same as a slave.

A muse isn't always around. Otherwise they lose their magic.

A slave is boring. They always do what you say. Never have any input on where to go for dinner.

A muse you see at a party but don't get to know them. Your imagination fills in the rest.

There is one thing in common. You may not know either's name.

Oman, I know exactly what you mean. That's the main reason I gave up my blog. I just ran out of creative ideas and had nothing else to say. However, in the last week or so, I've had more writing ideas than I had the previous 4 months, combined! Haha. Ain't that always the way it goes. Anyway, glad to see you're doing well. :)

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
