It also shows up for me while I'm moving. Usually by the time I get in a place where I can write down my ideas, I've already forgotten them. I've decided to buy a little tape recorder so I can scoop up ideas when they come.

it can happen for me if as soon as i wake up i lay in bed and just let thoughts flow, stream of consciousness - style.
i think that state between sleeping and awake is pretty magical
lucid and free

I often joke that my muse is like a little kid -- she'll hit me over the head when I'm least expecting it, and I have to answer her NOW. (Meaning, usually, sit down and write.) If I don't, she'll go away for weeks or months at a time.

I've learned just to put stuff aside and listen.

My fairy usually comes around at about 3 a.m. and stirs me to get up and grab my journal.
Last weekend I took almost exactly the same photo at Rockridge Canyon...the water was still and sparkling and I could have sat there all day.
