Muse

SUMMARY and A/N

All Lovely Bates expected was a quiet outing in the park. Perhaps a little bird watching or an afternoon spent outdoors with her journal.

But as the day comes to an end, an annoying and aggravatingly attractive college student butts into her personal bubble, making a proposition and asking a very strange request. To be his "muse".

As this strange and slightly enchanting young man bursts into her life in an explosion of color and psychedelic emotions, she realizes that sometimes you need to throw on a smock and get your hands a little dirty.

Or you might just miss out on the love story of a lifetime.

Muse has now become my favorite story to write. Then again, at one point, they have all been my favorite. I began writing this back in 2016 I believe. I put so much effort and time into this story and I know it's not the most widely read out of my other stories (Epistle being at over 100k and climbing) but it has a lot more love equity in it so I hope one day it is more appreciated.

It is now very important that I inform you of the following,

There's is a hashtag #ViewsForMuse and I would love it if you'd help me spread it around.

I understand if the fact that I would like more views is annoying but you have to understand that spending years writing books and rewriting old stories can get really sad and depressing when no one is reading them.

Don't misunderstand, I love all my my readers. It's not all about the reads and votes. I love all of you and appreciate all of the support!

Thank you so much for reading,

-Lyss
