My daughter reminded me today of this story I heard years ago about creativity interrupted. It has even coined an expression.
The author Samuel Taylor Coleridge had a (perhaps drug-augmented) moment of inspiration, but was interrupted by a visitor, and he could never regain the inspiration for the poem. It has even led to the expression, apparently, of "the person from Porlock" - which means "unwanted intruders who disrupt inspired creativity."
