Meet Our Musers! (8)
MUSERSCRIBE NEWSLETTER 0.8
Hello, Musers! Welcome to our latest newsletter.
MuserScribe is your space to talk about the people or things that inspire or influence you to put pen to paper. Our Musers of the Month and their submissions are showcased below.
If the role of the Muse is to bring life and colour to your craft, MuserScribe is the place to talk about it …
Here’s our previous newsletter:
You may know what inspires you, but have you ever written about it? And if so, do you enjoy writing about it? Well, come on down, this is what MuserScribe is all about!
Converting the Muse into Words
It’s been my dream to convert MuserScribe into its own publication, a space for writers to get us all thinking about how we transform our muse into words …
We can draw inspiration from anywhere, poetry, art, myths, old films, photographs, trees, clouds, books, memories, the moon, the stars, or the contents of our back pocket. Oh, and the actual Greek Muses …
MuserScribe wants to inspire and be inspired by you …
Want the opportunity to discuss your Muse? Simply join our band of Musers. Please follow MuserScribe and respond with ‘I’d love to write for MuserScribe!’
★ Don’t forget to leave your @ username!
Suggested Topics
- Write a stand-alone ‘about me’ story talking about the people, places, or events that first inspired you to become a writer;
- Write a story (fiction or non-fiction) then write an introduction talking about the inspiration behind your work. Similarly, you can write a poem and talk about the inspiration behind that. The introduction should preface the content of your story or poem;
- If you want to talk about the inspiration behind a previously published piece of work, it’s acceptable to include a link to that work in your story (and also provides you with double exposure!);
- Short form, personal essays, chapter extracts, fiction, poetry, non-fiction, or self-help stories with your discussion of the inspiration behind them are all welcomed.
★ As writers for MuserScribe, we support each other! We are respectful, we read, we engage and we clap, (yes, keep that finger down and enjoy those fireworks until it reaches a nice round ❤️ 50!❤️) Those 50 claps cost you nothing but the boost of morale to your fellow writers is everything.
★ MuserScribe looks forward to welcoming you!
★ If you’ve already been added as a writer for MuserScribe, please jump right in and tell us about your Muse …
As you’ve been particularly prolific, multiple submissions by the same writer are featured this month. We’ve also been delighted at the response to our October (Halloween 🎃 Month) Photo Prompts.
★ Musers of the Month
☆ In her own words, the stories of Scarlet Ibis James 🦩 simply burst from her, spilling (she hopes) joy ‘here and there’.
☆ Somtoochukwu Benedict Ezioha tells us that his first love is fiction! We hear you, Somtoochukwu!
☆ OBA.T.K describes himself in one potent word — a ‘storyteller’. Yes, we like storytellers!
☆ Britt H. is a writer who, despite the everyday challenges she faces, shares her sensitive and unique perspective of the world as a hearing-impaired autistic person who also has bipolar disorder.
☆ Block Wife is a writer and author. She writes to sort the many ‘trapped ideas’ and ‘unsaid words’ left inside her head.
☆ Jordan Eve has a peppermint tea addiction … She writes of ‘mundane’ horrors and her obsession with the tactics she uses to escape them.
☆ Cyrl’s Corner is a multi-genre writer and blogger who believes that the best way to connect with someone is through ‘written words and/or the arts’.
Let’s cheer on our new and current Musers …

Summary
My vision is to create a community of writers sharing the magic … eg what it is that inspires each of us to write.
This sharing of ‘the muse’ is intended not only to help us reflect on our own creativity but also to form a library of collective processes for us all.
If you’re not one of our writers but would like to be, simply respond to this post.
☆ Thank you for reading and supporting MuserScribe! We now publish five days a week — Monday to Friday. ☆
☆ Submissions sent on Friday evenings, Saturdays, or Sundays are reviewed and published for Mondays ☆
Summary
My vision is to create a publication for writers and wordsmiths to share their muse, imagination, inspiration, and more. Simply respond to this post and be part of something special.
Happy Musings! ★。・:*:・゚☆
