My muse is currently MIA.
So I said to myself: Self, you've got to find your muse. Why not start a contest and help other people find their muses? Who knows, maybe yours is hiding with theirs!
Hence the title of this contest.
So, you ask, how are you going to help me find my muse?
Well, I answer, I don't really know. I'll just throw in a few links to some quotes, titles, songs, key words, and all that good stuff.
IMAGES MAY BE ADDED LATER.
Sound like a plan?
I'll cover the rules first:
(*gasps* The horror!)
NO EROTICA OR ADULT CONTENT. One, I can't view it. Two, I don't want to read it. And don't try to sneak it through by not labelling it correctly 
[Just kidding, just kidding 
].
Please please PLEASE try to use proper spelling and grammer.
Please credit the picture, quote, title, song, or phrase according to directions.
DoN"t tYpe Likkkk tis. <= I've never seen this but I also don't intend too.
Find you muse!
