Ok another story idea. This one is about a writer who needs to get a book written for his publisher and cannot get one done. He is writting at a coffee shop and finds a copy of The Odyssey and reads it. Once he is done reading it he is soon followed around by the nine muses ( contemplating where or not current out fit or their tradtional one) and is given an idea for a book, the problem is it is not the type he is used to writting (maby as a kid he wrote it) and not the type his publisher wants. He cannot finish his other story and ends up writting the one from the muses and gets it published.
Well I still have alot to work out but that is the basic plot.
That is the quote that set me thinking of this story (that my M&L teacher attempted to quote) and that is what sets him on his story. I think he may read that passage (book open to it?) and start getting followed by them, then do research on them or find someone who knows about them.
Homer, in Book I of The Odyssey:
"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns
driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy." (Robert Fagles translation, 1996)
ohh I wonder if I could get extra credit for this story... It is technically an english class; that is what the credit is.
