The Shape of Today

The shape of my muse...

I mentioned my NaNoWriMo idea on Gallifrey Base, a Whovian forum I frequent. Immediately another member began encouraging me to write a scene or some dialogue to get the juices flowing. So I suppose I'd better update Scrivener (it's uniquely suited to this) and get started.

I'd be lying if I said I weren't intimidated a little. Starting to write seriously again is one thing, but with a fanfic? Uncharted territory for me. I never gave much thought to personifying my muse, but here we are. It turns out he's a Scottish actor and says I should play with his most famous character to rebuild my writing fire:



I've also seen him be a lover, a supervillain, a spy, a brooding, amoral murderer, and a duck. For this, however, his eccentric alien hero will do. As another character in that universe told him: "You watch us run!"
