How does one entice one's muse back home? :)

With elves, it's saucers of milk, probably the full-fat kind. A
writer's muse, though... A cartridge of ink-jet printer ink? A
terse note to the effect that she'd best get back on the job, or
you'll be subcontracting the project to the elves?

I could try drafting a "help wanted" ad, see if that scares her into coming back. :)

Ripe cheese?

I think the first step is to deal with the heap of stuff in the in tray, polish my desk and then sit down with pen and paper and start brainstorming in the hope that the muse will be tempted to join in.
