Couldn't that twitch be labeled as a muse in its own right? In short: does the word/concept "muse" have to indicate something external to yourself, or is it a label for whatever reliably inspires you?
I mean...you rely on that tic to create, right? So what would happen if you didn't have it? I'm muse-dependent, and I'll be posting my thoughts soon, but I'm reading through the responses first. I was under a gross misunderstanding, that everyone worked with tangible muses, as I do, and now I'm wondering if the *form* of the muse isn't the point, and the presence, or poking it gives you, is.
Thoughts? Can you work without that self-sourced mental niggling?
