Inspired by the Haiku A Day thread, this thread is a challenge to myself as well as other writers in the forum.
We all have that one thought, feeling, word, phrase, or sentence some days and we think, "Huh, I'll write that down." Sometimes we write it because it may make it into a story or poem. Sometimes we write them to share them with others. Sometimes it can encourage exploration not related to writing.
Some Rules:
1) If you are inspired by something that is not entirely your thought or words and you decide to post it, it will be allowed so long as you give credit where credit is due. For example, if you are musing on a phrase from The Little Prince, remember to say it came from that publication. If you use something by another NG user, please say who it was unless told otherwise. I work in a Writing Lab in the US and I believe in the importance of citations!
Addendum: If you see someone wrote something you had been thinking even though you may have never talked to them before about it, no,this does not necessarily mean that they stole your thought. Sometimes we all share a particular muse--this should not discourage you from exploring your own take on the muse.
2) As much as I know it's in the spirit of NG, please try to refrain from trolling others.
3) You can freely expound upon your muses here but be wary of the length. If you plan on turning a muse into a long post, it would probably best for you to create a separate thread that way it will solely focus on your particular work and feedback you might want will not get lost.
4) The obvious: have fun! This is a way to get creative juices flowing as well as encourage discussion
Here goes:
It is that lurch in the belly.
