Humorous Excuses

1. My muse went on vacation and hasn't even bothered to send me a postcard.

2. I've got so many ideas, my muse is confused.

3. My muse got back from vacation and is too tired to write.

4. My idea must have fallen into a quantum singularity on my mental hard drive.

5. My muse is split between too many alternate universes.

6. My muse found a Thumb and hitchhiked across the galaxy, and is now happily enjoying a pangalactic gargle blaster and a cheese sandwich.

7. My mental hard drive must have gotten a virus. I think it needs to be rebooted. A long vacation should do it.

8. My muse is overworked and underpaid, so it went on strike.

9. My muse went on a coffee break and hasn't come back yet.

10. My muse went out to lunch and is still enjoying dessert.

I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
