Too much science

After years of repeatedly throwing herself headlong into a wall in fierce pursuit of her elusive muse, our heroine finally thought of a new tactic...sidle up on the muse quiet-like and slow, while reading a heavy textbook to avoid any suspicious look of creative yearning. Of course, the muse is a mythological being, and any real creative pursuit should focus instead on potent catalysts, sustainable fuels, and rich substrates. Consequently, the muse will become "saturated" with substrate and the initial velocity (v) of the catalyzed reaction will react a limiting value called the maximum velocity (Vmax). Goddamn overly fascinating textbook. Now, what was I saying?
