Witty verbal inventions that spring to mind can seduce writers into inaccurately portraying their meanings or even losing sight of them altogether. The good artist, I would think, resists this kind of temptation over and over to produce work of integrity.
Of our experiences, it is the demonstration of life energy that inspires us and impresses upon us its vehicle. A work of art borne of patience, discipline, and strong, well-understood meanings retains the energy its creator poured into it and helps to extend the meaningfulness of its creator's existence beyond his or her physical departure from this world.
