Autonomuse

The self-directed inspiration to elevated states of mind that leads to works of art. Sometimes mistakenly credited to a Muse when, in fact, you are the source of your own inspired creation.

It dawned on Geoff that it was not Crystal, his so called Muse, that led to the genius of his work, but it was his own doing. He had become an Autonomuse, inspiring himself without looking to others. And he felt liberated.

Autographism

The act of creating or performing a work about creating or performing the same type of work that falsely presumes the audience will relate to the unusual activity

The theme of that rock some is pure autographism. Example: A rock song about playing the guitar (there are too many to list) (Beatles: While My Guitar Gently Weeps; Bon Jovi: Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars, Blame It on the Love of Rock & Roll; AC/DC: Let There Be Rock; The Rolling Stones: Jiving Sister Fanny, Family, Let It Bleed, Memory Motel)

The public did not relate to the artist's autographic theme in the painting. Example: An artist paints a picture of an artist painting (Drawing Hands by Escher)

Example: On Star Trek The Next Generation the main activity recreational seemed to be acting and other things done in front of an audience (see episodes: The Nth Degree, Time's Arrow, Schisms, Sarek)

Example: Every TV sitcom that is on long enough has an episode where someone is an actor or is on TV. (Married with children: Kiss of the Coffee Woman, Just Shoe It, Get Outta Dodge; Futurama: Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV; The Andy Griffith Show: The Taylors in Hollywood)

Example: TV shows and Movies about working in entertainment (Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, Frasier, Danny Thomas)

Example: Books where the main theme is related to a book, writing a book or where the writer is the main character

Autobation

Erotic stimulation especially of one's own genital organs commonly resulting in orgasm and achieved by manual or other bodily contact exclusive of sexual intercourse and specifically involving an automobile as a means of instrumental manipulation, sexual fantasy, or by various combinations of these agencies.

He was embarrassed when his grandmother walked into the garage and caught him in the act of autobation.

A few of the pages of his 'Car and Driver' magazine were stuck together, no doubt a result of an unhealthy car fetish and an incessant need for autobation.
