I love muses. I love the idea behind muses.I like to picture what they look like and imagine how they behave according to their particular art of choice.

I'm here to say that the muse of novel is not motherly, she's sadistic ;_;

Believe me, imagine this: You have an idea for a novel, you can't write it because you're in a very full bus, so for the entire bus ride you plan it, you find the best ideas, you think the best way to start it, continue it and finish it. Then you get down of the bus (not without nearly being punched in the face several times) and you either forget the entire novel, you find out that it has been done or you realize that the idea is stupid. You go home, you go to sleep, you try to read something you wrote or write something calm so you can fall asleep, then, after what felt like 30 minutes, you look up to the clock to realize 5 hours have passed by and you have done nothing but read and write something you can't show anyone, and you have to get up from bed in 1 hour.
You go on with your life, and get ideas for the strangest scenes in the worst places. A soothing scene? The idea comes when you want to be aggressive in a game or you want to remain awake in the morning class. A war scene filled with blood? It will come when you're in the library and you have to be completely quiet when writing, and so ooon.
There's also the magnificent moment where the muse gives you the idea, keeps you all night up working on it, you go to sleep for a couple hours, get up to finish it, and realize you have no juice left; and for weeks, months, maybe years you are unable to finish your text. Most probable scenario is that you'll forget about it as you simply can't continue it.
Worst thing that can happen? You realizing you hate your old writings as you were not good enough back then (not that you're even good enough now, but, well, you don't suck as much), so you realize that after a life of writing you have nothing to show off, because you developped a near phobia to re-read your old texts as the urge to slap yourself with a chair enters your mind as you read the first line of old texts.
That's the moment when you ask yourself: "What the fuck am I doing with my life?" and have an anxiety attack, which you manage to control by writing something down, until you realize that what you just wrote makes no goddamned sense and has no even an ounce of good writing in it.
So yup, writing/novel/tale-muse is quite a sadist.

Thankfully, your muse evolved into the little girl.

Yep! She's fun, though she gets stubborn and refuses to help for weeks at a time sometimes.

I'd belong to either the graphic novels or anime muse. LolollololololololololollπΆπ I wonder what the anime would look like.

Hmmm.... It depends on what era.Β
80's muse would look very different from 90's, who would be a completely different species from the current one.Β

Late nineties is me XD that or early 2000's, but that's even more confusing...

Don't worry. Sturgeon's law dictates that ALL genres are like this in one way or another. (I wonder what the muse of romantic comedies looks like...)

My muse can't make up his mind on what he wants to do.

My graphic novel muse has three tits.
And they're misplaced.
Just like everything else about my muse.
I didn't even know armpits could talk.
I love your silly lil' comics! C: The muses of novel, painting, film, rock, and videogames look perfect!

is one of the tits on her head
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, except her head is where the butt should be and vice versa.
She's a very special woman that demands a lot of attention.

I don't think there's no respect in graphic novels. Before I actually read Sandman, pretty much every person whose tastes I respected had told me how life-altering and paradigm-shifting and shut-up-and-BUY-IT it was. (I ended up not 100% agreeing with the hype, but still a wonderful and beautiful piece of literature.) Of course, it was written by Neil Gaiman, so it helps that an author of "respectable" novels spearheaded it, but still. I think that you get respect if you look in the right places, which is true about just about everything a person can do. *shrug*

To be fair writers of novels aswell as classical artists often lack money and respect as well. Especially if you consider that comics as a medium are a bit more wide spread than novels and that people are more willing to buy a 28 to 64 page comic than a door stopper without funny pictures in it. At least this is how I see it.

It's a great medium with zero respect accorded it.Β And zero money.Β But hey, still better than poetry, right?

That's not my personal muse.
My personal muse is a hyperactive 3-year-old girl who randomly goes into sulking fits.
