Dear current muses,

I know it's difficult for us to try to get to know each other so quickly and jump in and write, but first of all, one of you is not new to this and should be trying to get the newbies to understand the way nano works. Second of all, just because you only have a name and an occupation is no reason to be a terrible muse. Be thankful for the fact you survived Gondolin, and get over it.

I shouldn't have to write this, but the truth is, the best muse of the bunch of you has actually been Glorfindel. Who, during this story, is dead, and yet has managed to come back for multiple flashbacks. Without being bribed with cheesecake! Obviously, if I had known this was going to happen, I would have written a story that didn't occur at the end of the First Age.

We're only 22k in, a number that I could potentially make up in four days if I had to start over. You seem like a swell bunch, but time we're at halfway point tomorrow. I'm giving you until the morning to make up your minds. After that, it's back to England. And without a doubt, the first scene I'll write is a certain uncooperative muse losing his head. Literally.

That is all.

Sincerely,

me

tsk tsk muse! Didn't you get the memo? Unemployment is at an all time high. There are many muses out there that would snap up your job in a heart beat given the chance, and they wouldn't even mind getting paid the graham cracker shell, they wouldn't even ask for the whole cheesecake. So if I were you, I'd get my little nose wiggling and my beady eyes lit up with ideas and get to work. So step up to the plate...er don't freak out... I mean baseball plate, and let's hit a homer for Zhie! (Least you do wind up on the dinner plate....)
