A lovely take on how muses come into our lives. We tend to draw from w3hat we know or what we once had. They are fleeting and at the same time always there with us.

Thank you for reading, your in-depth comments, and all the stars!
Correcto Mundo, we do write from our experiences, what we know.
Muses are notorious for their momentary visits, but they are, as you said, always there.
Cheers, irish
Comment from C. Gale Burnett
What I enjoyed most was Thalia reminding John of the time when she first came to him after the passing of his wife. I felt a deeper meaning and reality in that section of the story. It struck a chord with me. I also loved the answer Thalia gave to John when he asked why he was saved and left here.
Awesome dialogue and great imagery.

Comment from Ulla
If I have a muse, it's certainly not something I'm consciously aware of. The words just comes to me when I'm ready or they are ready.
I loved your story. It has such great imagery and is quite lyric in its way. Wonderfully written. Ulla:)))

Thank you for reading, your great comments, and all those stars! I do have a lady who speaks to me in dreams with stories, and sometimes she has me act out the story so I get all the emotions right.
Cheers, irish
Comment from Eternal Muse
I wish I had a six for it. A superb story with a great dialogue, awesome imagery and visuals.
The visit from a ghost is a killer. They say, the dead know everything, maybe that's why she was so perceptive (smile).
I often have trouble writing my first sentence on FanStory, but as long I am on that magic screen, the inspiration comes to me.
Must enjoyed, thank you for sharing.

Comment from estory
This is a very interesting scene because you used this image of the angelic muse to symbolize inspiration that seems to come from the dead wife. Its almost like she is an embodiment of the form that worked up the emotions in this writer, struggling at the keys. Nice attention to detail in descriptions of the writer at the desk and the angelic features of the muse place us in this scene to witness what unfolds. estory

Comment from Cristine22
This pulled me in and held my attention well. It was good and tight, nothing extra. And I really like the idea of having a real conversation with one's muse. Very nice!

Comment from Judy Lawless
Oh, I wish I had a muse like that! Or is that what we really need as writers? When we can't write we blame it on our muse, but isn't it just our distracted minds? This is a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Judy, thank you for reading, your perceptive comments, and all those stars! I cannot explain the manner in which we get our inspiration, but I do have a lady who speaks to me in dreams, maybe...?

Comment from dellsworthpoet
A mythical story, not supernatural, not eerie. The tone is comforting, but otherworldly. The words fit the subject well. There is a nice arc to the story. The pace is good.
A good read. Thanks for sharing.
