We all have a muse, something that seems to inspire us to be creative: Write, draw, play music, sculpt, etc. What is your muse? What consumes you and allows you to be creative when you are stumped?
For me, my muse is the Pride and Prejudice CD. All I have to do is pull that up on my itunes, and I can't stop writing. It's a wonderful thing. :)

Well my muse is music as well but pride and prejudice would not be my first choice. I work best with rock and roll music or the classics. My favorite group is Journey because of all the hard core sounds they use, and what even better is that they dont use the base through all of their songs. My other favorite group would be Switchfoot, it is a christian rock band. Both of these groups combined helps get alot of work done.

Josh, I think it's funny that you even know what P&P is. You definitely have sisters! :) I LOVE journey, always have. I have to say that my favorite Journey song is 'When the Lights Go Down in the City'. Classic. I can see how it's inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThat song is really good but my most favorite song on Journey would be "SEPERATE WAYS" It is soo awesome!!!
ReplyDeletePersonally, my muse would have to be going on a run or sparring in jiu jitsu. I dont know why but I am at peace when I am doing those two things. I have thought of some great things while doing both. Another thing I did is when I was stumped a little bit on what way to go on my senior project and when I was rolling it just hit me that this would be the best and funnest way to go.
ReplyDeleteIm in agreement with music. I love music, especially piano music! It gets me going and motivated, and its just inspiring! Another thing that is random, but doodling, just drawing random things on paper, and day dreaming actually makes me think about things and concentrate. Its also a sign that I may be bored, but most of the time, spaced out thinking of something else. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Pride and Prejudice music is the best!! :) Favorite song, top of the world.

ReplyDeleteI guess I can say that my muse would be drawing. Its what I love to do when im really bored, when im trying to get my mind off things or simply to spend time. To me pictures mean alot they show how one feels, its ones words in pictures and can mean mnay things in different views.I personally enjoy drawing because its my way of expressing myself and it helps me relax.:)

My muses (of writing/drawing) can be traced to my friends. My wonderfully crazy, funny, weird, possibly derranged friends. We spend many a day bouncing ideas and jokes back and forth that result in stories, and drawings. Oh and music...although I'll get distracted by Santana- he makes me wanna dance...yeah, I'm gunna go do Sr. project stuff before it's get too awkward

My muse would be playing the piano. I'm not incredibly good at it and i don't know how to read music all that well, but i do enjoy playing what i do know how to play. I find it very inspiring. I learn how to play songs on youtube and i usually pick up on songs pretty quick! My favorite is "A thousand miles" by Vanessa Carlton and "Bella's Lullaby" by Carter Burwell :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I like the movie pride and prejudice too :) I like all those old movies like Becoming Jane and the Duchess! lol
ReplyDeleteMy muse is music, drawing and playing video games. I love lisening to music when I feel strewed out or just want to be relaxed. I also like lisening to it when I want to get pumped up. I like drawing little villiges and sceance and get lost in a whole new world that I created. It can last me days drawing on a old homework assiment intill I find a new price if paper. I also like playing video games for most reasons anyone else would.
ReplyDeleteI guess my muse is my music. I always get ideas for art when I listen to music with really intense lyrics. That's always good for when I'm feeling kinda down too, because it motivates me to bring myself back up and do something more constructive with my time than sit around all day and mope.
ReplyDeleteMy muse is God's presence. Whenever I am stumped I just start singing praises to God and then I feel refreshed. Then I am able to do things faster and be more creative about what I do. Every time I just sing worship songs I feel relaxed and ready to do anything.
ReplyDeleteMy muse i would have to say is music. Every time I'm in a bad mood put about something or gloomy i listen to music. Music to me is inspiration. I love to listen to songs that deal with life, and the ones who make you realize what it good in life. Also, every time I'm stressed i play some music and helps me a lot.

Schro I know this question is several days old but I've been sidetracked when it comes to my... internet habits, you see facebook is slightly more appealing, not that your blog isn't, but they have quizzes and what not.
ReplyDeleteNow to the question itself, MUSIC, and ART from other people! I love the concept of being to create a reality that can conform to YOU! This is achieved by the composition of music, creation of a novel, ect. My muse, in the sense of inspiration, is just that upbeat folk music. The blending and history of various, diverse cultures just fascinates me, especially when it comes to the folklore and music. Schroeder, I'll bet you that (although I can think of some who won't enjoy it...) will inspire the majority of the class
aww darn, the link I embeded didn't work, anyway the song I was refrencing was The Secret Garden by Elan
