I haven't writted any new songs in ages.

I feel bad about that, but I haven' really had anything I've felt stongly enough to write about.

I need a Muse (a woman, not the band).

If YOU would like to be my muse, please apply in writing. I'm looking for a non-smoker who can do far-away stares.

If you want to hear the tracks I was writing a year ago visit:

i am not muse touched but i am a writer. conflicted with the complexities and frustrations of the creative process at times, of course. i find that when i read it makes it harder to write, inspiration feels like plagarism & then inevitably i feel like there is nothing i can say that hasnt been said and been said better before. so i try not to read at all during the process of writing. i sometimes can find inspiration in music or art or some other medium in which i am unable to create but i can appreciate the larger issues at stake in the piece and find a way to translate the universal message into another form. creative translation is the literary technique. but all art is a metaphor, turning the individual experience into an understandable, conveyable form. so maybe you could try to silence the cacophony of noise that i have come to realize torments musicians the way words taunt me all the day adn read something or check out some new art, or even some that you already love & try to convert the images or ideas into music, how the emotions would sound in your mind. even if its crap it initiates a new thinking. there is nothing to kill creativity like stagnancy of conciousness. mind you its 6 am and i am not awake early, but not asleep yet so excuse any fragment of thought.... smile good luck.
