Course Description:
Could you use a romance writer's go-to-gal for muse disorders? If so, stop looking 'cause you found her. I'm D. D. Scott, an agented, romantic comedy writer and a muse therapist in the making. Muse Therapy--D. D. Scott style--is all about injecting life into tired and/or stressed out muses. I'll give writers fun and fabulous tools to analyze their muses' funks, reign in their creative divas and up their page counts.
Discover what makes your muses tick. What ticks them off. And what makes them dance like nobody's watching. We'll name your muses and host a very special meet-and-greet just for them, then dig deep into their psyches by examining "muse disorders" such as:
** Unleashing Your Inner Sybil
** Writing Bi-Polar: I Suck vs. I'm a Genius
** What Do You Mean I'm Neurotic? No, I'm Not. Well, Not Exactly. But Okay...There Are Times When. Like You Need To Know That. Anyway, I Was Thinking, My Jeep Is Red
** Rorschach For Writers: I See Dead Lines
** Stimulants: When Coffee, Chocolate, and Martinis Aren't Enough
Once we recognize, acknowledge and accept your muses' afflictions, we'll find terrific tricks and "trips" to treat our word witches. So if your muse is in need of a tune-up, grab a comfy couch or chair and put up your feet. You're in the right session. I'll provide fabulous hand-outs and super-cool tchotchkes for all participants. You'll have a terrific time conquering your creative divas and taking back the crown of your personal Muse-ville kingdom.
About the Instructor:
D.
D. Scott’s romantic comedies are all about sexy, sassy, smart, career-driven
women and the men who complete them. They're a bit chick lit with a
gone-country twist. She’s agented, and her series BOOTSCOOTIN' BLAHNIKS -
think Sex and The City meets Urban Cowboy - is under consideration by several
NY publishers. She
writes stories with big hearts and a bunch of sass. Once a small town
newspaper crime reporter and a HarperCollins Publishing Returns Center Executive
Assistant, she's learned great fiction comes from the street as well as which
jacket covers meet early deaths.

a member of Indiana RWA as well as RWA's Chick Lit Writers of the World and ScriptScene RWA plus serves on RWA’s History Committee for
the National RWA Board. She's been featured in both Indiana RWA's and ScriptScene's chapter newsletters and been a guest blogger

she's driving her darling hubby nuts preparing for her Muse Therapy Live
Workshop for GCCRWA’s Silken Sands Conference next month in Florida and the
2010 RT BookLovers' Convention in Columbus OH in
April. In addition, she’s also a
bit anxious and driving her DH even nuttier waiting to hear whether or not
she’ll be doing an article-based Muse Therapy series for RWA’s RWR magazine as
