Conversations with My Muse: A Year with Calliope by Joseph Langen
This account is based on my blog record throughout 2008. It tracks the events of my daily writing life and Calliope’s influence on it. I have often been asked what it is like to write full time. Some writers love their muses, some wrestle with them. Mine has always been at the ready with the exception of one brief hiatus noted above for which I take responsibility.
