Muse Therapy

Could you use a writer's go-to-gal for muse disorders? If so, stop looking 'cause you found her. I'm D. D. Scott, an agented, romantic comedy writer and a muse therapist in the making.

I'm thrilled to launch my Muse Therapy Online Classes and Live Workshops.

The sessions are proving to be a huge hit. I'm booking dates like crazy!!!

So here's the scoop:

ONLINE CLASS/LIVE WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Muse Therapy - D. D. Scott style - is all about injecting life into tired and/or stressed out muses. I'll give writers fun and fabulous tools to analyze their muses' funks, reign in their creative divas and up their page counts.

Discover what makes your muses tick. What ticks them off. And what makes them dance like nobody's watching.

We'll name your muses and host a very special meet-and-greet just for them, then dig deep into their psyches by examining "muse disorders" such as:

** Unleashing Your Inner Sybil

** Writing Bi-Polar: I Suck vs. I'm a Genius

** What Do You Mean I'm Neurotic? No, I'm Not. Well, Not Exactly. But Okay...There Are Times When. Like You Need To Know That. Anyway, I Was Thinking, My Jeep Is Red

** Rorschach For Writers: I See Dead Lines

** Stimulants: When Coffee, Chocolate, and Martinis Aren't Enough

Once we recognize, acknowledge and accept your muses' afflictions, we'll find terrific tricks and "trips" to treat our word witches.

So if your muse is in need of a tune-up, grab a comfy couch or chair and put up your feet. You're in the right session.

I provide Muse Therapy Online Classes for either two or four weeks and can do a Live Workshop anywhere from an hour to a full day. Just depends on how long you'd like to be in therapy. LOL!!!

I'll provide fabulous hand-outs for group loop files and super-cool tchotchkes for all participants. Muse Therapy Live also has a fabulous PowerPoint presentation and hilariously productive, interactive exercises!

You’ll have a terrific time conquering your creative divas and taking back the crown of your personal Muse-ville kingdom.

SPEAKER/PRESENTER BIO:

D. D. Scott’s romantic comedies are all about sexy, sassy, smart, career-driven women and the men who complete them. They're a bit chick lit with a gone-country twist. She’s agented, and her series BOOTSCOOTIN' BLAHNIKS - think Sex and The City meets Urban Cowboy - is under consideration by several NY publishers.

She writes stories with big hearts and a bunch of sass. Once a small town newspaper crime reporter and now a HarperCollins Publishing Returns Center Executive Assistant, she's learned great fiction comes from the street as well as which jacket covers meet early deaths.

She's a member of Indiana RWA as well as RWA's Chick Lit Writers of the World Chapter and ScriptScene RWA. She's been featured in both Indiana RWA's and ScriptScene's chapter newsletters and been a guest blogger on Romance Writers on the Journey. She is linked to on Romancing the Blog and also has an active blog of her own on her website at www.DDScott.com.

Currently, she's driving her darling hubby nuts waiting to hear whether or not she'll be providing Muse Therapy for the 2010 RT BookLovers' Convention in Columbus OH and for RWR in an article-based Muse Therapy series.

For updates on her books, her sexy, sassy, smart neurotic writer’s life blog, and for a schedule of future muse therapy sessions, visit her website www.DDScott.com. While there, sign-up for her mailing list for chances to win fabulous tchotchkes.

YOU KNOW YOU NEED MUSE THERAPY WHEN...

1. Your muses aren’t ticking. They’re ticked off.

2. Your muses are in a funk unable to up your page counts. They’re more like: Up Yours

3. Even great sex with (insert your partner of choice here), or a new pair of shoes, or a day at the spa, or (you get the picture) can’t reign in your creative divas

4. You feel the urge to sign-up for the following classes:

** Unleashing Your Inner Sybil

** Writing Bi-Polar: I Suck vs. I'm a Genius

** What Do You Mean I'm Neurotic? No, I'm Not. Well, Not Exactly. But Okay...There Are Times When. Like You Need to Know That. Anyway, I Was Thinking, My Jeep Is Red

** Rorschach For Writers: I See Dead Lines

** Stimulants: When Coffee, Chocolate and Martinis Aren't Enough

5. Your word witches have landed in Oz but that don’t look like no Yellow Brick Road you’re bootscootin’ on...the damn thing never ends!

6. Your ass hurts, your back hurts, your head hurts, your fingers are numb, the kids/DH/dog/cat/other family pets and family members/friends/neighbors/telemarketers/reality TV stars must have your undivided attention now and they mean now...not after your “dumb” writing timer goes off an hour later. Everyone has told you your writing is a waste of time, just a “hobby” that will never “pay-off”...Maybe they’re right.

7. You feel the urge to tell everyone listed in reason number six to (I’m thinking of a phrase that starts with a 4-letter word and ends with a ‘you’, ‘off’ or ‘me’)

Do not...I repeat...do not panic. You are not alone. The writing gods and goddesses have not dumped you out of the muse chariot. Okay...so maybe they did. They can be a bit bitchy. But fear not, there’s help for you!

So if your muse is in need of a tune-up, grab a comfy couch or chair and put-up your feet. You’re soon to be in the right therapy group.

Sign-up for the next available Muse Therapy session.

See you in therapy...Muse Therapy – D. D. Scott style.
