Where do you find inspiration? Do you wait for it to come knocking on your door? Do you gather bits and pieces of it, through your day? Do you write down snippets to use at a later date, when time permits?!
I think inspiration is everywhere. Most of the time my Muse teases me and the ideas come. I'm intrigued and decide to allow it to happen, but usually it ends up in journals waiting for me to find time to play. Sometimes is irritates me and comes at the worst possible moment. Yesterday was like that. The internet kept going down and my house kept filling up. Daughter and I had planned to go on the big birthday shopping trip, but hubby said, he would be home early to register car. We decided to wait and go today, by the time the car was done. It was too late to go. She can drive the car, but not the truck. I mainly drive this huge black beast with a cap on the back. I think of people trying to relate personality traits by what we drive. I mean an impression ;D. And no my dog does not resemble me.
Daughter is on spring vacation. Son didn't have college yesterday and hubby was home. I had intentions to finish a challenge, but the house was literally rocking. Son playing techno tunes, then he would switch to metal. Daughter is singing loud n' proud to Adele and my head is not in the game to gather insight. I go outside to escape the loud and plant some more seeds. Daughter and I had planted quite a bit earlier in the day. Son was changing his fish tank. My kids start discussing my POE art. I told them I have an artistic license, my art, my interpretation. What influences and inspires you?

I get inspiration from everywhere, and from daydreams. Bus journeys are great for letting my mind wander, especially the 20 minutes journey into town. Most of the time I don't even realise I'm daydreaming, until someone tries to talk to me!

I do find that when I am tucked up in bed, thoughts appear and I need to jot them down so I keep a notebook at my bedside. Sometimes they do not come to fruition and other times that little notation is the springboard for something fun.
Have a wonderful day.

I so agree it is everywhere and it is always amazing to find gems in unexpected places~
Elizabeth-I can't take credit, but it is pretty! I totally agree with you~ :D
Yvonne-All wonderful ways to be inspired! Great list~
Cheryl-lol, on velvet...
Yes, drama...no shortage insight, for awhile ;D
Mary Ann-I do that sometimes myself. I haven't seen this interpretation. I did see the updated movie one. I watched it with my daughter. She loved it~
Alex-Yes,over all it was nice!~ Thanks for reminding me :D
It was just the timing was a bit off, but unexpected gifts are like that. I just had a challenge to finish. I set it aside and was up late, finishing it up. My family does inspire me. My kids really took an interest in this challenge(POE).
Hi Lynne-You are right! I woke up the other morning with a poem in my head. It is funny, how it strikes, we have to be prepared! :D
Mama Zen-That is me! I am trying to be better about taking notes and typing up details, so later I can go back and read it and hope it springs up more insight and ideas! WE have to find a way to capture it ;D
Emily-I think you are onto something. It causes different parts of our brain to relax and then bam, the ideas wake up ;D
Thanks for sharing~
Yes, all of these are great springboards :D
Jaycee-Yes, we have to be ready, when it arrives! Night time huh,...so your Muse is a Night Owl?!
Jolie-I'm impressed! I do think my memories conjure up a lot of inspiration for me~ :D
Heather-If you have a cell phone you can take notes or get an App so you can! It helps...

Thank you~
Cynthia-I think it is those moments of ordinary that are brains find a way to move us ;D
I am sending you some growing wishes to stretch your creative wings and be inspired by your garden! I can smell the honeysuckle now...wonderful! xo
