In ancient greek mythology there were 9 muses, responsible for the worlds of literature, science and the arts. They were the sources of inspiration, minor goddesses who could be credited and praised for the best of our creative efforts, and I suppose, blamed when it all went to shit and nothing was flowing. The problem with muses is that they aren’t forces external to ourselves. They are neither our creative salvation nor the ones responsible for whatever version of writer’s block applies to your specific creative endeavours. The problem with muses is precisely that they are us and we are them. You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to get to work.
