Nope.  There are different states of "being".  The idea can be fully
formed inside your head - but that's just it: it's _inside your head_.
 Ideas there exist in a different, less solid or "real" form than when
they're in a form that can be transmitted to someone else (such as
once they're written down or spoken).

What's inspiring you is not the actual finished work, though it can
seem like that at first.  Rather, what's inspiring you is the pattern
that you can very easily see how to make into a finished work - so
easy, in fact, that it seems as if you are nothing but a tool for this
pattern's end, the same way you might use a pen or a keyboard.
