The Procrastinating Muse

A writer complains to his therapist: 'My muse only visits at 3 AM when I have a deadline tomorrow.' The therapist nods sympathetically. 'And when you don't have a deadline?' The writer sighs: 'Then she's apparently on a permanent vacation in the Bahamas, sending me occasional postcards that just say "Maybe next week."' The therapist writes something down. 'What are you writing?' asks the writer. 'My novel,' she replies. 'Your session is the only time I can focus.'
