I never tire of learning how the creative process is manifested for others and came across an article in the most recent CHRONOGRAM about author Esmerelda Santiago where she talks about her own experience, which is remarkably similar to so many others:
I really don't believe I'm creating anything. What I'm doing is setting down something that's coming to me from some mystical source that I don't understand, but don't want to get mad at me. [laughs] I really believe these muses as an artist are these forces that are there to help you and nurture you, but you have to help them, too.
