Sometimes one has to go through a lot of bitter to get to the...well..not bitter. And you write the process well here.

Thank you. This did not seem particularly well written to me, but you are always kinder than I deserve.

That's an interesting idea, having a mortal arrive there through hypnosis...

Thanks! When I am floundering, the Greeks are always fun to fall back on. Thank you so much for reading.

There's nothing like memories to help heal. They may be painful in the remembering, but they aren't as bad as when the times really were. One has reason between then and now. (Thank goodness). So she was ready, time had been between then and now and her mind had accepted. Clever stuff, and your muse did not desert my dear, she IS still there! Smiling!

The Greeks are always fun to play around with. I find that I dip into that well way too often!

Ooh, I love the fact that this was a hypnosis session all along ... at first I wasn't quite sure where this was going, but it really came together at the end. For someone suffering from writer's block, you're being quite prolific -- and this story was definitely not a throwaway piece.

I had my daughter read this and she said it was confusing, so I was worried that it would be unclear. I'm glad the point came across in the end. And thank you for your kind words ... you are always so nice to me, and you know how much I look up to you!

What a great story. I wonder why you think your muse has left you when obviously you can still write something like this. I think it would be cool to keep this Clio/Dr. Colter character and have her be the same person... you know Greek god by night hypnotist by day.... that sort of thing.

I am so glad you liked this story! I was just sort of writing it out as I went, and I wasn't sure it was all going to come together in the end. It means a lot that you find the characters interesting enough to want to hear more about them. Thank you so much for your kind words!
