So much to do. Nothing I want to do.

nbrooks put up guides to a couple of her more common muses.
Field Guide to the common Chris Muse
Field Guide to the common T Muse.
T is an interesting case. He doesn't have an actualy name like a lot of muses. He started as Torturo the Pain King, which is a booger to type in chat, so he got whittled to T. And T is the generic term for him now.
For those who don't get the term "muse," here's how it works for us. The voices in our heads have distinct personalities, appearances and attitudes. They're like stock characters that we use to cast the novels. "We need a middle aged male, intelligent. Call out the David." Some traits may carry over from role to role. Some are more versatile than others.
My own field guides:
