Listen, listen, listen, write, write, write, play, play, play.

My Muse spends a lot of time frustrated because I'm just not physically doing what she wants. I do it all as much as possible, and I muse a lot when I'm doing things on automatic pilot.

I always say thank you...I feel an overwhelming gratitude and humility when I produce something that effectively expresses my ideas and emotions in such a way that someone else can recognize and understand them.

Great thread. I like Gerry's Muse Food idea--tapes, places, smells, all sorts of things can work--I'm thinking now about ice cream.
