Unshackled Thoughts and Musings

Lately I've been having this overwhelming urge to write. Poetry? Prose? I don't know... Content? Fiction? Non-fiction? I'm not really sure... I do sit in front of my laptop for hours on end just strumming my fingers lightly over the keyboard. I do that sometimes, when I don't know what to write, yet the muse is shackled ever so slightly on my left shoulder. Never the right shoulder. I'm sure if she tries hard enough she could break free, but noooo.. She just sits there, quite happily restrained. Laughing. Then when the tapping of keyboard starts to bore me, I'd play around with a few sentences. Deleting them and start again. And so goes the process till I just close the document without saving. I like to write; I like to ramble about what ever tickles my fancy. Or scratches it, for that matter... Truth be told. I don't write hardly enough. So, pardon my ramblings, give me some space to clear the cobwebs out.

Shocked and slightly confused

WARNING: Some random rambling. When I'm confused, or angry, or flabbergasted, I just need to write and rave and rant.

I'm in need of a good online Poetry Community. Is it just me, or are they kind of scarce?

Good news! The unemployed period is over! (Actually, I'm not going to get my hopes up till my signature is on a contract and I have a copy in my possesion, but it goes like this...)

Anonymous bloggers

I’m not an anonymous blogger, even though that was the plan when I started out. My name is Cheryl, I live in Johannesburg and many of my friends “in real life” follow my blog (even if they only pop in once in a while.) They know who The Shackled Muse is. And I’m sure Source has me somewhere on a video…

On the one hand, I stand by the notion that if you want to say something, have to balls to do so without a Nome de plume. On the other hand, there is something enticing about being unknown.

Still on the Job topic…

I’m a bit conflicted… Every body knows about my desperate attempt to find work. Any work. The boredom of having nothing to do is now replaced by the financial burden of paying my bills. Money I just don’t have. Or not enough of it anyway.

I really need to find something soon. That’s not what this post is about though.

I usually log on to one type of IM service at some point during the day to have deep meaningful discussions while I try to write a limitless amount of articles.
