Fairy Dust Moments


If I could blog shortly after awakening, Daylily Soup would be amazingly different.  I have the best ideas either in the middle of the night or upon awakening in the morning; in those fairy dust moments while crossing the bridge between sleep and consciousness.

Fairy Dust Moments
From now on, I plan to capture those thoughts on paper at the moment of their first appearance as if butterflies in a net.  Let me clarify, a "net" will only be used for my fairy dust thoughts.  No nets are ever used on butterflies in The Daylily Soup Garden.  So, get ready friends, for snippets from fairy dust moments.  New material is needed while the daylilies are on hiatus anyway.  I know you're wondering about all of my "fairy dust moment" business, so here's my disclaimer:  I only drink the occasional glass of wine (no recreational drugs).  This is just me.

When do you have your best ideas?   
When do you do your best writing?  

I'd love to know ...

Thanks for stopping by. :-)

    My first thoughts on waking? Is there washing to do? Is the dishwasher empty? Does hubby need to get up for work? Do I need to food shop? Can I have some time out? No 'fairy dust' moments. No original ideas. No great writing skills. xx

      Hi Annabelle,

      Thank you for commenting. I do beg to differ about you having no original ideas or great writing skills because I read "Annabelle Serendipity," and your blog rocks! Your blog was my first inspiration.

      All the best! XX

    Beth, good luck catching your best ideas and pinning them on paper. You just got me thinking, when I have my best writing moments and I realized I don't even know. Mostly I write my blog when I have the time and not necessarily when I am in a good state of mind to write. Hmm, maybe I should pay a little bit more attention to that. Writing in a Fairy Dust Moment certainly would be delightful!

    When I'm lazing in bed and if I think about my draft posts, perhaps I get an idea of how the commentary should go. However most of the time, the images simply evoke the commentary. No fairy dust moments for me too. There are too many mundane things to think about.
