Monday’s Muse (sort of)

Writing is like . . . Yeah.

I’ve written previous posts in which I’ve compared writing to anything from gardening, to an amusement part, to a road (with agents as a GPS). While those posts still apply, lately I’ve come to think of the whole writing process as something more like the Winchester Mystery House.

For those of you who aren’t aware of

Kind of a 'sad but true' analogy ;) Crazy story too (I'd never heard about the Winchester House before).

Yeah, it's a crazy house. I hope to visit in person someday. I first heard about it when I was watching a TV episode--I think it was Ghost Hunters and have since seen it on other shows (documentaries etc.)

I can't imagine living like that (in constant fear). It's said that Mrs. Winchester never slept in the same room (so the ghosts wouldn't find her). The house used to be 7 stories but was damaged during an earthquake and is now only four stories and 160 rooms (still huge).

I've been doing research on it because I find it fascinating--and have been generating novel ideas too. ;-)

I just saw "the Winchester House" on a show...and I can't remember what show it was.

Write on! :)
