Running very fast here in order to stand still. Have entire family descending for the fete de Noel and MIL already settled in residence. In the midst of preparations I was suddenly struck by an idea for a novel. This was most inconvenient as I am rather busy, it kept me up last night, with an annoying list of chapter headings, and this morning when I should be doing domestic slavery I am here at the computer having safely tied MIL to the kitchen table with a bottle of silver polish and a lifetimes supply of cutlery to keep her out of mischief. I know I should be glad and relieved as having finished the re write of "The Adventures of UN Peu Loufoque" and "Pootle", my children's story, I feared my Muse may have died of exhaustion! No, it was merely waiting for the worst possible time to come visit! Does anyone else have this trouble?Anyway I am not sure what list I need to put my name down for for 2009, I promise to be good and write regular and try and comment as much as possible..meanwhile.. Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night... or in my case a night fighting with chapter contents whilst trying to type silently so as not to wake up visitors!!

Feed your muse the best you have :)
Sounds like Santa arrived early.
Inspiration sure picks its time doesnt it? Go for it and I hope you get some sleep too!
Never look a gift muse in the mouth...!
Have a great writing Christmas!
I do know what you mean. Ideas seem to arrive when they feel like it, not when you want them to. I would go with the flow; or if you can't, then at least jot down the ideas down in a notebook.
Happy Xmas.
Ideas come trundling along when you least expect them, don't they? Except the wheels usually fall off mine before I get the chance to run after them and catch them!
Why is that? That story ideas arrived at inconvenient times? I've just had the same thing happen.
