I answered yes, but the fact of the matter is that I'm very much like musesfool in my conception of a muse. I use the term to refer to various characters, aka "My Sanzomuse is not being forthcoming on the smut" or "My Schuldigmuse is a RAT BASTARD." This is not to say I honestly believe independent personages have taken up residence in my brain. What it means is that some part of my brain has "tagged" this character as being inspirational, and when I'm inclined to write, I allow those parts of my brain to interact with my main brain, and with each other, much in the way actors interact with each other and their director.
I am telling myself stories, and I'm doing all the voices. When I really click, what you call "in the Zone," I'm doing the voices really, really well. I'm doing them well to the point that my main brain might come up with an idea that's not "in character," and the part of my brain that "tagged" that character will "tell" me that the idea doesn't work. I suspect that's what mistressrenet means by veto power.
