Muses, Ramblings, and other Randomness

Okay, soooo… I got nothin’.

I wanted to post Allison Tebo’s Disney Prince Tag, but I’m still having trouble deciding which male characters go in each category, especially after I did get it all written down but my page crashed or something and I lost who I had put down and my faulty memory promptly forgot some of the characters I’d picked… Le dramatic sigh… Anywho, I’m not here to make you feel bad for me, though, maybe, possibly, a sympathy cookie would be kinda nice. I kid! 😉

Ahem, as I was saying, because I was going somewhere with this, I had a point, and… I just realized I’m using a lot of commas.

“You’re stalling.”

Who said that?

“It’s me, Dylan. How could you not recognize my voice? I am, after all, your very favorite character, who also pulls double duty as your illustrious muse, which sadly is a thankless job. Whoever’s reading this, feel free to feel bad for me. (Just to clarify, I’m from a different story than the Cinderella retelling from a few posts ago, although there is a high chance I can work myself in there too.)”

Oh, huh, no wonder I’m having trouble with my post right now, you’re not doing your job. How’d you get here anyway? And really? A ‘thankless job’? *scoffs* You’ve seemed to forgotten that the thanking comes after the doing. And you sure are talking different than you do in your story, what’s up?

“My little secret. And yes, really. How can I give you ideas when you’ve been so busy you barely got any writing done last week, and then when I do give you an idea, you complain about it. And I will talk however I deign to talk, thank you very much.”

If you wouldn’t wait until I’m trying to sleep I’d be more grateful, oh illustrious one.

“Moving on. I’m here because if your readers are going to get to know you and want to read your future books, that have yet to be written yet, just so y’all know—”

You used ‘yet’ twice, Dylan. And is there a point to all this? Because there really needs to be a point to all this.

“Well, I’m the muse, not the writer. You’re supposed to catch my grammar mistakes. And you interrupted. Rude.”

*sigh* Sorry. I guess I’ll leave the post to you and take the day off since I plan on joining The Hobbiton Tag tomorrow. Okay, you’ve got the floor, Dylan. (I apologize beforehand for any embarrassing things Dylan might say. That boy really has a mind of his own, which is a conundrum because he lives inside mine.)

“Thank you. Now run along, Jenavieve, I’ve got it from here.”

That’s what I’m worried about.

“Tsk, tsk, such lack of faith in me. I’m hurt to my very core. You cut me to the quick, Madam. You… Aaaand, she’s gone. Okay, now for a proper introduction:

(Edited: Hello, Hunters! You’ve figured out the clue! Here’s the next stop. 🙂 )

Hello, people of Internet Land! I offer you all a virtual handshake and a hearty welcome to my Jenavieve’s fair Domain. I’m Dylan… uh… yeah, Jen has yet to give me a last name, so we’ll just go with Dylan.”

*Jen pokes her head back into the room* You’re my muse, you should know your own last name!

“If you would spend time on my story I might know my last name!”

…Touché…

“Well, sorry about that interruption. where were we? Oh, riiight, talking about myself. See, I’m not the best at that and it’s not my favorite thing for reasons I don’t want to share. Oh! I know, we can talk about Ameira. Who is Ameira you ask? She’s this aggravating girl I just met whom I’m forced to travel across all Storydom with. What’s Storydom you ask? Well, that’s what we call *blurs out Dylan’s words because of spoilers, ;p* and that is Storydom. Fairly simple really. Now back to Ameira. She’s the new girl. We both work in the Library. It’s a library in your world but because of its access to Storydom, The Great Author had the Author set up a group known as the Keepers. And that’s what Ameira and I am, well, I am a Keeper, Ameira wasn’t even fully initiated yet before she transported herself right into the middle of hostile territory. If she’d just listened to Madam Regis we wouldn’t even be in this mess. And get this, she only reads mysteries, nothing else! How can you only read a single genre when there are SO many others? Like fantasy, sci-fi, I really like sci-fi, and all those different ‘-punk’ genres, and—”

Dylan, everyone is entitled to their own tastes and preferences, even if we don’t particularly like or understand them. And you really shouldn’t judge her, especially since you do not know why she only reads mysteries.

“Fine, you’re right, okay. But still, how dull life must be to only be viewed through a single window.”

*Jen sends Dylan a pointed look*

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop now. So… not sure what to talk about now. Y’all’ve got the gist of Ameira. I don’t want to talk about me, partially because Jen told me I’m too much of a spoiler, not sure how, but I guess I should take that as a compliment. The little word counter says this post is over eight hundred words, how long are blog posts supposed to be anyway?”

Don’t ask me, you’re the one who wanted to take over this post. If it’s too long or short, that’s your problem.

“Rude. Hmm… how to end this post? Oh, I know! Ask me any question you like! Then I shall force Jen to answer them, unless I feel inclined to answer, and she can finally figure out some things about me. I mean, sheesh, I am her muse after all, she should know far more about me than she actually does. Well, cheerio, farewell, adieu, allvidasaye, and all those other goodbyes. Now I’m serious, ask away!”

*Face-palms* Well, hopefully Dylan entertained someone with this. At least he mostly behaved, he can get quite passionate about books. Now, about the questions—

“No take backs! They are allowed to ask questions. For example: What’s my last name? How old am I? When did I become a Keeper? Do I have a Keyblade? Am I an only child, or do I have siblings, or do I even have parents? The possibilities are endless! Bonus points if you do two questions at once! Now, I’m off, I have a mission-quest-thing to take care of.”

Dylan! You already ended your part of the post, quit taking over mine. And what’s that about a Keyblade? Did you figure out how to Jump further than Storydom? Dylan? Dylan!? Of course you won’t answer me now… *sigh* As I was saying, just please keep the questions within reason, and I will try to answer them, as long as they won’t be spoilers. Man, I use a lot of commas…
