Muse
Description
Kwon Jiyong, the romance novelist, had written numerous best seller books all his career. But 3 years ago, that happened... and he lost his muse in a blink of eye.
To get his muse back, he went to a trip around the world—going to new places, meeting new people, eating foods you can't imagine exist, and talking in foreign languages everyday. He did his best to get inspiration and his muse back, but no avail. He just couldn't get his muse back.
But the meeting with Kim Taeyeon, the travel writer, changed his life upside down.
Thus, their journey started.
Foreword
Muse.
A muse is the spirit of artist’s inspiration.
It is the source of soul in every artist’s work.
What do you think about traveling?
For me, traveling is a form of stress reliever. Some people may find it in alcohol, some in , some in reading, some in shopping, and many others. But for me, Kwon Jiyong, I find it in traveling.
If you look in dictionary, what is the meaning of traveling?
Consisting of 2 syllables; “tra•vel” means:
1. To go from one place to another, as by car, train, plane, or ship; take a trip;
2. To move or go from one place or point to another.
As for me, I find another meaning of traveling. The word still consist of 2 syllables, but the meanings are:
1. To find inspiration; to see people; to see the unnoticed;
2. To think about the current surroundings; to imagine myself in other people's shoes;
3. To distract my messed up mind; to run away from things I don't like.
Coward, aren't I? But the first and the second point are true anyways. As a writer—a romance novelist to be exact—I need to see many events and people; I need to see how they act and react; I need to notice the unnoticed and turn those unnoticed things into a sequence of words and sentences. Thus, I turned those words and sentences into a paragraph, then a chapter, and finally a book with complete storyline, characters, and its emotions.
For some of you, you might think that my job is easy, I just need to write some words then turned it into a sentence, then turned it again into a paragraph, and the process repeated until I finally finish a book. But it isn't that easy guys. You need the reason to write those words, you need the inspiration to write each chapters, therefore, you need a muse to write a complete book.
That... has been missing from me since 3 years ago.
I couldn't find my muse anymore.
That's why I travel as a stress reliever—to complete those 3 meanings simultaneously. But again, I find it difficult to feel my third meaning of traveling. My mind is still messed up until this day, at my 378 days of travel, and I haven't completely runaway from the things I don't like. To feel the third meaning is as hard as finding my muse to write—FYI, I've been looking for the muse for 3 freaking years, and I haven't found it yet.
Well… I guess I have to keep traveling then.
