call_me_snake1) Do you ever 'talk' to your characters?
Quite a bit. Some more than others. Of course it is usually all mental discourse. I haven't gone so far as to talk to myself, yet. Depending on the muses the conversations can be very different.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sacredeyes is very compliant but others like Snake or autohomicide are much more defiant. I''ve had to learn to "talk" to all of them differently.
2) Do they talk back?
Snake literally never shuts up. He is a one man rolling commentary in my head. He has something to say about everything. The others are rarely talkative or as talkative. Of course I have muses that don't "speak". Listening to replies fromqueenofthehive is like an exercise in animal behavior. I often wonder how other people with other non-humanoid characters deal. I wonder if other people get alien languages babbled at them at 3 am from a muse who seems equally tired. The talk back is always the best. It seems for the most part the muses go with my cycle. Snake is obnoxiously cranky or obnoxiously awake way before I am. Mike is lazy in the morning. Peninnah is always pleasant but rarely talks. My dear jp_hammond.. let's just say I work in a Natural History museum. John Hammond is my company at work, well, and Snake. Those are interesting conversations. Sometimes chainedtoaskull pipes up in those work moments.
3) Is there a particular ritual you have that lets you get in touch with your inner voices?
Snake needs no poking though going to the gun range and working with my dog are sure to get him going at full speed. Peninnah takes solitude and so when I need to work with her I take a breather alone or walk the dog. Mike is odd in that random things spark his voice. The same goes for most of my other muses. Hammond, all I have to do is go to work. LOL Hammond and Bob need an intellectual pursuit usually. Of course watching a muse's show/movie is always perfect. I have even gone so far as creating playlists for each of my muses. I almost always listen to these when I am writing. Most of the time though I don't need anything aside from a topic for any of them.
