What if……..

Ideas for my work-in-progress come and go, some stick, while others shimmer and disappear. Some appear clothed in brilliance at midnight only to reveal they’re simply the ugly step-sister of an idea by the light of day. Ideas sit beside me in the car, taking in the scenery and biding their time during the commute, until ready to give me direction like a personal GPS.

Ideas appear at all hours. I’ve long since learned that if I fail to write one down when it announces its arrival late at night I’ll have a difficult time remembering which guest room it sauntered into when morning rolls around. Forget about calling it forth when I’m ready to sit at the keyboard. 

Those fragile, fleeting, flitting, what if…..hmmmm…..aha! moments happen anywhere. But for me, they most frequently occur here:

Awwwwwww. Nice.
