Advice to self:

When the universe is your writer’s palette, don’t mistake drawing inspiration for storylines from muses as part of the main (or any sub)plot in the story of your life.

As a reader, never assume a writer’s story reflects real life because imagination is a tricky bed partner.

If you, as reader/writer, fall in love with a muse, can you avoid falling out of love with life when the muse moves on?
