Be My Muse

© Lauri Jean Crowe

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. So are my thoughts and my dreams, they rage and I hope they will quell to a pleasant keel by the end of the month. I’ve used lucid dreaming techniques to help myself focus on my various writing jobs over the past few months, and I have found many successes and a large need to reapprise my writing goals and do a bit of spring cleaning.

At Suite 101 I added copyeditor and then Managing Editor to my responsibilities. At Themestream I started my column One Woman’s WorldView which began as a weekly venue and then became something I submitted new articles to several times a week. I became the new Short Story Editor for Mocha Memoirs and also began writing my articles about the darker sides of sexuality at The Vu. I started a series of Writer Profiles at The Vines and have begun a book project with my friend Jennifer Reno which will evolve into a series of books if we remain focused. I also became the Holistic-tips guru at Life-tips.com. However, in the midst of all this I wonder what my focus for The Art & Science of Dreams should be.

Sadly, it kind of got placed on the back burner. Sad because it was my start as an online freelance writer and I feel like I have neglected the muse that inspired me to become so much more. The Art & Science of Dreams has been my inspiration to become the successful writer and editor that I am becoming and what I have realized most is that it is the readers who matter, not me, the writer. I will write so long as I breath. I write with shampoo on shower walls and ketchup on dashboards when there is nothing else handy. Ideas are constantly rampaging my mind and if I don’t capture then I am afraid I will never find them again. Such is the way of dreams, and such is the way with readers of columns on the web.

So, this month I am asking for your help in what direction you would like to see The Art & Science of Dreams take. Email me at ljcrowe@suite101.com and let me know what it is you would like to see me discuss over the next few months. Be my muses. In the meantime, I am going to focus all my dreaming efforts this month on Suite 101 and see what inspiration finds me.
