The Muse strikes again.

Well, no.

 I strongly dislike (and am frequently downright hostile toward) the concept of ‘having a Muse’, despite my generally extreme dorkery and love for mythology.  The things I make are mine, I am not passing off responsibility to a Muse or some other force I can say 'made’ me do a thing so I can hide behind it when presenting my work.  I spent so so long afraid to share things I was excited about at all, and I’m still working very hard to not be ashamed of my love for things (which often manifests as art) to the point of just destroying the love for it like I did when I was younger.  What you guys see on my blog is an effort not to feel deep shame when I love something.  I cannot afford to entertain this Muse nonsense, please do not bring it up again.

This is not anything against you, this is just the second or third time in like two weeks someone has tried to assign me one of these things, and I am here saying No for the record.

 I’ve been frustrated that this kind of terminology is nearly ubiquitous in fandom art circles for a good fifteen years now.  She says, shaking her internet walker and yelling for kids to get off her lawn. 

That said, I do get frustratingly exciting ideas when I am in the least convenient time or place to execute them all the damn time!  I put a notepad for the shower on my amazon list as a joke but I’m starting to think I should actually buy it.
