Got a Writing Muse?

Meet Frederick, my muse. I discovered him in elementary school.


We read Leo Lionni's book of the same name about the poet field mouse who observed his world and stored his thoughts and sensations while the other mice were gathering food. His efforts helped his family endure the cold winter.

Everyday when I'm at my desk, Frederick is there helping me survive the cold winter of the writing life.

Who's your muse?
