Hi Mystery Writer,

Hahah. I feel your pain! I know my husband knows all my stories too, lol. But then that's why we write, per your lines. Deliciously written and cute to boot...

" Alas, mine is a muse of necessity;
Not amusing, 'tis indeed, my dear wife.
She inspires me to write because she
Won't listen; thus defines this writer's life!"

Good luck :))

Thank you! It is good to know that there is another who is not understood or fully appreciated. Let my wife find me writing when she expects me to be working on her list, it isn't pretty.

One sympathizes with this writer whose audience (his wife) is not interested in his stories (she's heard them all allegedly). I can easily relate to this line: "mine is a muse of necessity." I, too, often write only for myself.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my story. If its not true, it should be. But, after 44 years, I assure you of its truth.

Yes indeed - a nice wry, humorous touch to these words reminding us of the need to be heard as writers 'A story whines and pleads to get out'- absolutely - thanks for sharing

Thanks for stopping by, zanya! I appreciate the nice review. We writers have to know that we are not alone!
