The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.

Stephen King
About This Quote

If you are a writer or poet, you can speak about the muses as ghosts. They appear when they want to and leave when they want to. The muses are like the haunting spirits that materialize to give us inspiration. They can be very beautiful and or very scary.

We cannot see them, but we can feel their presence. We know that they are around us for a reason, but often times it is not clear what that reason is.
