Thank you! Due to the time difference, I wrote these in the wee hours of the morning and that was the first word that jumped into my head. At that hour, You don’t quibble with the muse. You just put the words on screen and reread them later and wonder where you got that from! I’m sure you’ve had moment like that!

Plenty of moments like that. No, I never debate the muse. She is all knowing. Love these posts.
