Authors frequently refer to their muse. Sometimes they give it a name, othertimes they simply refer to 'the muse'. It got me curious.

Right now, I don't even write for fun--just for work...but I've got a muse...and she is very particular about when I write and where I write. It really sucks having a night owl muse when you are on a daytime schedule...She doesn't have a name although, on occasion, she gets referred to as G*# D@#$ B@#$& when she won't cooperate with a deadline and keeps me up all night. But that hasn't happened now in just over a year..(She just stuck her tongue out at me and asked if I ever wanted to finish the paper... cheeky wench she is.)

Heehee. I know the feeling about uncooperative Muse. Thankfully, mine has realised the occasional necessity to type into the computer directly or else I'd never finish anything in time...

SHE will only give hints if I'm not at a computer--bit of info here, a minor detail there...She doesn't care much for pen/paper, now that she has discovered the ease of writing on a computer... Occasionally I can get a page or 2 hand written, but then when it goes into the computer, she adds detail... I'd just prefer for her to allow me to work in the mornings as well as late night. I could get more work finished that way...*growl*

She must be friends with mine, no doubt. I simply do not do mornings and nor does my Muse. No matter how much I try to convince myself/Muse how incredibly productive that could be, seeing that the ONLY quiet time is the first couple of hours of the day. But no, instead I waste away fangirling. *sigh*

I think they must be related...preferring nights, fangirling during the day...mine just prefers scholarly work while yours indulges in creative writing...

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Yes, they probably are related. Fangirling during the day, definitely!
Mine isn't really the scholarly type, except when it comes to potions... And science in that field is a truly tough cookie in this day and age...
