The early hours of the morning seems to be when inspiration wants to strike most often! I keep a notebook and pen in the top drawer of my bedside table so I can write things down.
Sometimes it's just a title, at other times a whole story will present itself - no sleep that night!
Then later, I can flesh things out, expand storylines or simply wonder what on earth something was meant to be!!
At other times, just about anything will trigger a thought or phrase ( I also have a notebook in by handbag )! Shopping, walking, watching TV, gazing out the window at the sky - anything goes when it's about inspiration.
