I'm guessing I don't have a singular "muse" entity.

So you use external things that inspire you as a muse? It reminds me of Balanchine and the string of ballerina/wives. He used them as muses to create the most fabulous ballets.

I think we all approach things in a different way, but it's interesting to me that you were able to identify something that acted as a "muse."

I love the cover by the way! Really fab! Your brother painted that? Amazing.

I'll check out the link to see his other work.
