The Muse and Being on Time

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (such the cool name) said:

"I sit down to work each morning at 9 a.m., and the muse has learnt to be on time."

 I love that. It debunks the preciousness of writing. And makes it a job. One that you just have to show up and do. Reminds me of what Philip Pullman says of writer's block:

"I don't believe in it. All writing is difficult. The most you can hope for is a day when it goes reasonably easily. Plumbers don't get plumber's block, and doctors don't get doctor's block; why should writers be the only profession that gives a special name to the difficulty of working, and then expects sympathy for it?"

 Oops. It's nearly 9 AM. Time to show up at the desk.
