Where do writers and poets find their Muse?

How do writers and poets get souces of inspiration from?Han Kang got it from historical sources like diaries of martyrs of Gwangju uprising.And how did Han Kang get insights into the working of the mind and heart of her characters?Do authors and poets have superempathy skills to read the hearts and minds of their characters. A prominent scientist predictd robots cant replicate 3 himan traits,that of people with emotional,empathetic skills,those skills requiring imagination and non repetitive task requiring leadership n analysis.So intellectual capitalism will replace the demand for commodity.Machio Kaku the theoretical physicists said that the UK earned more from the rock and roll industry than from the coal industry. interesting observation. As i saw the winter moon last night,some sense of lunancy crept into my brain and last nite a whole creative script unfolded in my dream about loss and betrayal.I dreamt and entered into the mind of a single mother who was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.Her husband divorces her on learning of her illness and gets a new girlfriend.She struggles with chemo treatments and taking care of her two teenage daughters who drop out of school to take menial jobs to help pay the bills.Her only regret is not for her fate but the future of her daughters being deprived of a chance for education and taking on the role of caregiver of the family.i barely recall the dialogue in the dream but i can reaccess her feeling of loss of bodily functions,her anxiety of loss of a roof over the head for her family and her fear of leaving behind her daughters to an irresponsible father. I think Asian movies put value on familial ties so that whether its an Indian,Korean or Thai movie,audiences can identify with a well told story be it science fiction,comedy or horror.
