It's like the "spirit" inside you that inspires you to write or do whatever creative thing you want to do.  It comes from ancient Greek mythology.

Basically, it's a scapegoat for writer's block. :D

A very snarky teeny, puzzleshipping obsessive fan girl excuse for writer's block.

People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

Julie said it best, it's what inspires you to write. Doesn't have to be physical ... it's more a feeling. :-D
