How Does A Person Go About Replacing a Muse?

How does a person go about replacing a muse?
Can a muse quit? Or can they still inspire you without their permission?
Should you stage casting calls?
Wander the streets looking for someone with the same ratio of sexy to intelligent to weird to perfect to asshole?
Impossible? Yah, probably.
It is difficult to find someone who makes you want to tell them “freeze! I have to write this down!”
Or scribble down a bleeding heart in the wee hours of a sleepless night
Can you replace a muse at all?
Once they fade, do we wisp away with them? Or do we wallow until a new not-quite-good-enough-
replacement occupies the mind for a while?
