The Muse Party Blogfest!



A GINORMOUS amount of CONGRATULATIONS goes to the absolutely AMAZING Sarah Foster for FOUR years of blogging! I discovered Sarah during this past A-Z Challenge and was immediately taken in by her blunt, real writing voice and on point advice. She blogs over at The Faux Fountain Pen.

I am so excited to be participating in a blogfest to celebrate her anniversary!


1. Who is your muse (or character)? Tell us a little bit about him/her and why you brought them.
This is Cassandra--say "hi", Cass--and I brought her because we're basically best friends. Not even joking, we're like the same person. Sometimes when things happen, I'll literally be like "Oh I can't wait to tell Cass--oh wait." Anway, Cassandra is eighteen years old and just graduated from high school. She can't wait to leave for college in a few months and is so sick of her family and town. She's kinda quiet at first, but once she trusts you, she won't shut up. When she's hurt though, she will shut up and GOOD LUCK trying to get her to forgive you. (Sorry, Cassie, it's true.)

2. What are you guys wearing? Dressing up or keeping it casual?
Dressing up, duh! We're wearing knee-length sundresses, with jewelry. And wedges.

3. It's a potluck! Did you bring something yummy?
OF COURSE. Cassandra can't cook to save her life but I made no-bake Oreo bars. (Oh my gosh, Cass, it IS true! Remember that one time London asked you to make pizza with the kids...is the floor still red? Pretty sure you also almost exploded the oven.)

4. Open bar! What are you both drinking (booze or otherwise)?
Being the good-girl-under-21's that we are, not alcohol. Cassandra is drinking a safe Sprite, while I'm drinking some super sugary concoction. 

5. Wallflowers or social butterflies?
I'm a TOTAL social butterfly. Cassandra just likes to stare at people. (Calm down, I'm JOKING. Maybe.)

6. What song(s) will you and your muse sing for karaoke?
If I can manage to convince Cassandra to do it with me, definitely God Made Girls by Raelynn. We're both suckers for country. 

7. What's your favorite party game?
Cass is boring and doesn't like anything.(Cassandra, shut up, I made you. Do you want me to kill off Ben? Then respect me.) I'm partial to anything that involves the sharing of deepest darkest secrets. And Apples to Apples. Oh, and Guesstures. 

8. Which one of you is more likely to end up dancing on a table top?
Me. Definitely me.

9. Has your muse been a good date and would you ever hang out with them again?
She's never good, but neither am I. Guess that's exactly why I would hang out with her again. (Love ya, Cassie ;))

Congratulations again to Sarah! Looking forward to many more years of blogging to come. Also, I guest posted at Jess's blog Simple Scribbles (book review) as well as Nicole's blog Carpe Veritatem (opinion post). So you have three blogs to stop by and leave some comment love for!

Lastly, have a blessed Memorial Day. Thank you, God, for all the amazing men and women who gave their lives for this great country. God bless America!

  2. I love the relationship you have with Cass! That's good that you're sticking to non-alcoholic beverages! I think my 19 year old muse is still trying to bribe the bartender...
    Thanks for coming to my party!

  3. Exploded the oven. Haha! I can just picture that. Sprite is one of my favorite sodas because it is caffeine free. (Caffeine messes with my heart rate too much.) And threatening to kill of a character? LOL! That was funny. She better respect you now! :P

    1. True, she'd better, but doubtful she will! And yes, Sprite is the only pop that I really like.

  4. It's funny how so much of ourselves ends up in the characters we write!

    1. Isn't it, though? What intrigues me as well is how different the characters we write are from ourselves at times. Like how can we do that?

  5. I'm always talking with or about my imaginary friends, too. It confuses the husband sometimes, but he rolls with it.

  7. Love Apples to Apples! I keep forgetting that this is Sarah's blogaversary! Thank you for reminding me, and Congrat's Sarah! I don't remember when mine is. I guess I'll go look now... So cool to see that you are the outgoing one and your muse is more shy. You two round each other out, I noticed... Glad you both attended! Lisa @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com

  8. This post made me smile! I'm forever talking to my characters in my head too ;). Cass sounds like a lot of fun (because she sounds a lot like me hahaha :P) - I can't wait to try those non-bake oreo bars, they sound delicious!
