The muse

The source of creative energy—whether imagined as external muse, internal condition, or the actual people and experiences that ignite your work—a concept useful as metaphor for what cannot be controlled or summoned at will. The productive question isn't whether your muse exists but how you arrange your life so that when genuine inspiration arrives, you're actually present to it.
