How many of us find our inspiration in the shower? Or in the car on a long drive listening to (insert your favorite band here...my current is Mumford and Sons)? Or admit it...on the throne! I recently discovered another inspiration hot zone. My bed. Right before a nap or bedtime. Right before I slip away...into...dreamland.
But it can be tricky. Wait too long and you're asleep at the risk of losing everything you imagined. (Ask my husband. I hold the world record in shortest time between head on pillow and the snorty, spittly sounds of night's first slumber.) The goal is to wake yourself up enough to write it down before it drifts away. Be careful! It may be your greatest idea yet.
Or maybe just indigestion. You really shouldn't eat pizza right before bedtime. Shame!
I wake up creative, but sadly I have too much to do first thing in the morning. Luckily, I'm blessed and am able to stay home....so I can take an afternoon nap and wake up refreshed and inspired. :)
