Mythology was mostly oral until people decided, I know! I'll write this down so it can be remembered forever, and not end up like some messed up game of Telephone. (Which didn't exist back then, not as a game, but anyway.)
We would definitely be living in a different world without writing.
I made them decide that, you know. Made then decide to be intelligent and get everything down instead of tossing it all to the air and making up a new thing every other week.
A Muse living in a world without writing? I would have to do everything orally, not that it'd be a problem -- I did it once before. But that's why stand up comedy exists now.
And that's why we have books, lots of books. Glorious books that smell nice and look nice and hold so many useful secrets that it's a wonder they don't burst.
