About This Newsletter

A banner for the Romance/Love newsletter.


Spring is in the air and the muses are all around. But what is a muse? Are they tangible "things" we can find around us or are they part of our imagination?

Letter from the editor

A lot of us writers often throw out references to our muses. "Oh, she went on vacation, I can't write anything now." Or maybe: "She's on fire. I can't write fast enough for her." Some of our muses even have names and inspire us in ways we often don't realize. But where did muses come from?

From Greek myths, the muses are goddesses and the inspiration for literature, sciences and the arts. They are the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Some of their names may sound familiar: Calliope, Clio, Thalia, and Erato is the muse for love poetry.

Erato's name shares the same roots as Eros. She's the muse of lyric, love, and erotic poetry. She's often depicted holding a harp and in Eros' company. From the pictures I've seen, she reminds me of Venus – a beautiful young woman, gifted, graceful, and inspirational.

Finding romantic inspiration can be easy- it's all around us. Flowers, chocolates and cards are materials things that inspire romance. You can dedicate a song to your loved one. You can write them a poem about your feelings. A romantic gesture can go a long way. Treating your loved one to a movie or a dinner are romantic gestures that a muse might inspire. How does Erato, the romantic muse, inspire you?

Question for you: Do you have a muse? What is his/her name? What have written or done that you can say your muse inspired you?
