Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)Roger Ebert once said "The Muse visits during the act of creation, not before. Don't wait for her." I am constantly forgetting this as I procrastinate writing only to discover her again once I start.
gretared@grumpygamer “when the muse comes to visit, she better find you working” is my fave version of this
Ralph058 (S/he/it) AF4EZ@grumpygamer I've experienced this. Unfortunately, my muse is usually drunk and vindictive and I write verbal fecal matter.

Ertain@grumpygamer I was wondering about this yesterday.
Phogna Bologna@grumpygamer if anyone knows anything about the Muse, it's the man who wrote Beneath the Valley of the Super Vixens.
Max S. New ⚜️@grumpygamer Do you know the original source where he said this?

One of my music composition teachers, Carleton Macy, said: “If you spend 80 hours stuck and getting nowhere, and then you write the piece in an hour, then that piece took 81 hours to write — and not one of them was wasted.”

Jo - pièce de résistance@grumpygamer eh. That’s true a lot. But also the muse visits at 3am as you are falling asleep.
Steve Lindsay@grumpygamer That is wise advice.
Sean Tilley@grumpygamer God, do I ever feel this. I need to get up off my butt and start making things.
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@deadsuperhero I see you Making Things all the time. I get exhausted from watching over here and I'm genuinely impressed.
How I imagine your answer: "Yeah, but those things don't count, I wish I was working on *this* thing, that's *real* creativity."
