In mythology the muses are the goddesses of inspiration for literature, sciences and the arts.
There were three original muses, but as time went on the number increased to nine of them.
Being an artist I regularly seek and desire a muse to come to me.
Sometimes they do. Usually it is in the form of meeting a girl who intrigues me in some way.
My dealings with such a creature often inspires in me some great work.
Often though I meet someone who at first appears to be a muse for my artistic creation, but later turns out to be a muse of distraction.
I think this is a common occurrence for us artistic types.
These creatures of myth turn up in human form to at first inspire, but then somehow keep us from creating anything at all.
So… here they are.
The muses of distraction.
