Welcome –  Nandy Ekle

Homer, in Book I of The Odyssey:

“Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns

driven time and again off course, once he had plundered

the hallowed heights of Troy.” (Robert Fagles translation, 1996)

Ideas

As a writer one question I hear all the time is, “Where do you get your ideas?” The theme of my part in this blog is to find all the writing ideas hiding in plain sight all around us. Think of those old hidden picture puzzles and all the objects hiding in the tree bark and grass blades, a face hiding in the wrinkles of a tablecloth, and the shadows which hide the most interesting pictures of all.  Finding ideas to write about is like that. You just have to sharpen your eyes and think outside of the norm.

Traveling Muse

Some of my writer friends and I have often complained and mourned during the dry times when our muses seem to leave us in the middle of a project without so much as a so-long, see you later. Ignoring the irony of the situation, we have actually written some very poetic and profound articles about life during a muse’s vacation. During these times, I occasionally receive extremely coded messages from my muse, but must wait for her reappearance to know what to do with it. This idea of a traveling muse brought the title for my part in this blog, and I am making the pact to stick with the theme.

Who am I?

My name is Nandy Ekle and I love to write horror, suspense, paranormal and humor, but I have also been known to dabble in a little fantasy and memoir.

Join Me

So join me in searching the postcards sent from the muse to find the cleverly hidden objects in her words.
