No Muse is Bad Muse

Sometimes I can search for the muse and find it. Other times I may as well switch off the machine and go to kip! The muse is the poet's inspiration. In Greek and Roman mythology, these were the nine goddesses who inspired creative people to produce work of quality. Poetry, music, writing and other forms of art. Now we can add great hardware and software hacks.

I find that I can sometimes attract one of the nine upon rising from my slumber and, if free of other commitments (which is usually the snag, and one of the reasons that I really need to attain freedom of time), can then really hit the groove to the extent that I have to "find a place to stop" in order to service bodily needs (like having a cup of tea and a sandwich, and visiting the bathroom).

However, I have to be careful, for once interrupted I sometimes "loose the muse" and then that's it for the rest of the day. But sometimes if I'm lucky, and really being smiled down upon, I am given a second chance to pick up the muse after coming back from a run - then the problem becomes finding time to take a shower!
