Multiplying Muses! Introducing Jill Badonsky
QUESTION: What’s
better than being inspired by the original nine Greek Muses?
ANSWER: Being inspired by the original nine Greek Muses PLUS nine more Modern
Day Muses and their Bodyguard!
Have you heard about the Modern Day Muses? If you haven’t, you’re
in for a treat. Their names are Aha-phrodite, Albert, Marge, Bea Silly, Spills,
Audacity, Lull, Shadow, Muse Song, and Arnold (the Bodyguard), and they arrived
through the creative imagination of Jill Badonsky, author of “The Nine
Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard):10 Guides to Creative Inspiration for Artists,
Poets, Lovers, and Other Mortals Wanting to Live a Dazzling Existence.”
In the continuing spirit of ‘musing around’ the Creativity Portal,
we are thrilled to be featuring Jill’s original “Creative Solutions
and Inspirations from the Modern Day Muses” on our Web site in the coming
months in addition to our Nine Athenian Muses series.
For now, you can get acquainted with the Nine Modern Day Muses by reading
an excerpt from Jill’s book titled “Another
Fine Myth."
Enjoy!
