1 " If I ever saw my muse she would be an old woman with a tight bun and spectacles poking me in the middle of the back and growling, " Wake up and write the book! "
2 " When the door to my writing chamber gasps shut and the almost imperceptible sigh of a rose petal falls on my desk, I know that my muse is present. "
― Brandi L. Bates
3 " Deadlines help me, but my muse hates them. My muse functions in fits and starts, and tends to take very long vacations. Deadlines are like a hot poker to his ass. They force us both to sit down and write, which is what it takes to do this. "
― Alistair Cross
4 " Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:" Fool!" said my muse to me, " look in thy heart, and write. "
5 " I show up in my writing room at approximately 10 A.M. every morning without fail. Sometimes my muse sees fit to join me there and sometimes she doesn't, but she always knows where I'll be. She doesn't need to go hunting in the taverns or on the beach or drag the boulevard looking for me. "
