The shudder: “First a shudder runs through, and then the old awe steals over you,” says Plato. Don't be afraid of it. The muse is near.

The shiver: Vladimir Nabokov, in his studies on American Literature, describes the moment of truth as the one that sends a frisson, a shiver, up your spine. Trust it.

The amazement: Be amazed by it. Amazement is second cousin to awe, a friend of astonishment. Be wary of the snarky people who mock your love of life, your desire to make art.
