I have to hope that our author knows where this story is going.
Because it seems to have gone into a most peculiar place with this chapter, and I hope that it may link back to the earlier chapters at some stage.
Fascinating.

No, I think this is the right way.
If Thalia is the author, then what Thalia wants to do is write, and to get good feedback.
The other tack had the problem that it could degenerate into sniping at the commentariat... while in some sense satisfying, it is at heart small minded.
Which was what Thalia was doing with the other Muses.
So, why do you (or anyone) write?
Green-something
(Or perhaps why does Zeus pursue maidens? Similar issue, I guess... the pursuit of Life, and perhaps the creative, generative, impulse, in all of its manifestations.)
