Read Red Plenty with its imaginary projections being put into place with total sincerity. Start working again on a SF piece -- which is set in a rather despairing world where industry is merely trying to survive and everyone knows it.
Read a blog post titled "The Broken Hero" and the muse fools about with the idea of a hero retreating to a refuge. Or perhaps that novel I was working on earlier, where the character a little bit like that title was a bit part to instigate our hero and heroine's involvement with the peril that threatens the land.
Muses really do get ideas the oddest places.
