NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS FOR WRITERS
MUSEPAPER explores the possibilities of monthly writing practices, the gift of deadlines, and the novelty unleashed when we dare to write outside our comfort zones, push the envelope, and follow our Muse.
The secret behind watershed moments of creative genius is the exponential growth and discovery catalyzed by small, continuous improvement. The Japanese call it kaizen.
Musepaper is
kaizen writing
a small, monthly writing practice of 1,000 words or less, compelled by deadline, motivated with awards and publication, set in motion by ever-changing writing prompts, and inspired by one's Muse.
Designed to support new, emerging, and established writers alike, who are ready to enrich their voice, refine their style, and follow their Muse (wherever it may go).
There are many valuable tools for a writer's toolbox, but kaizen writing is the keystone, upon which all other tools, books, classes, and workshops actually depend.
MUSEPAPER, VOLUME 1 is a collection of some of the best literary discoveries thus far, featuring the works of five Musepaper Poem Prizes, seven Musepaper Story Prizes, and twelve Musepaper Essay Prizes.
This collection is brilliant, funny, and deep, each work a beautiful little masterpiece.
