You put &#39;em out there and then they come back to haunt you.<\/p>\n<p> Wasn&#39;t it just last week that <a href=\"http:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/2010\/01\/30\/a-shift-of-perspectives\/\">I went on about<\/a> how we need to stick to our guns and do the &#39;responsible thing&#39; by working on the task at hand, no matter how feverishly our Muse whispers story ideas into our ears late at night?<\/p>\n<p> Well, I admit it. I caved. My Muse planted the seed of a story in my mind and now, I&#39;ve dropped my other WIPs like they are hot potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>If there were a scarlet letter for falling prey to literary whimsy, I&#39;d be sewing it onto my sweater as we speak.<\/p>\n<p> But then again, who am I to ignore my Muse? I&#39;ve done it before and she paid me back by propping her feet up on the table for a long&#8230;.long&#8230;.long while without passing on any of her pearls of wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s official, folks. I&#39;m on a short leash.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>My Current WIPs (works-in-progress)<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>WIPs 1, 2 &amp; 3<\/strong>: I&#39;ve made no progress on these, I&#39;m ashamed to say.Still stuck on 1; still waiting to hear if 2 has been accepted; 3 is stalled<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>WIP #4<\/strong>: I know, I can&#39;t believe I&#39;ve got these 4 stories on the go. It kind of annoys me that I&#39;m working on so many stories at once. Maybe the Muse will award me for my obedience by allowing me to make quick work of this idea while it&#39;s still fresh in my mind. Because it&#39;s actually pulling at me (like most story ideas do&#8230;in the beginning, at least). Let&#39;s just hope this one doesn&#39;t end up a stalled project like the ones above<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text3\"><span class=\"text3\"> <\/p>\n<p> If you&rsquo;re a writer participating in WIP
