Basically you gotta learn to value your own muse enough to work for your muse, as if it’s your employer.

Like when you work for someone else, it’s nice to have tangible accomplishments but you can also force yourself forward on the basis of “well it’s my job”. That forcing yourself forward, for a part of yourself that isn’t currently conscious (the creative part that felt all that drive when you started), is working for yourself.
