Great article over at the DIYPlanner site about Refueling the Muse. The bits about World of Warcraft playing, and surfing Google for Zombie videos are particularly close to my heart.

In the book Zen in the Art of Writing, Ray Bradbury has a great essay on the care and feeding of your Muse. Too often, in modern society, we look down on the type of free exploring we do as children. Ray Bradbury recommends this is exactly how we need to operate in order to attract, feed, and care for our Muse. The Muse can only work with what it is given, so allowing ourselves many diverse, and sometime pointless, experiences is an ideal past time if we want to make sure our Muse has fertile soil in which to plant its seeds.
