I LOVE his take on the Muse - his book on writing is so inspirational. But he's right - if you stand around waiting for the Muse to show up, you're doing both of you a disservice. You have to slog and the more you slog, the more you're given. You might get the idea while you're just daydreaming but unless you sit down and start mixing the cement and making the bricks, that house ain't gonna get built.
