Quiet Time

You know how a lot of people say they are their most creative when in the shower? The shower works for me too, but I notice my best ideas come through when I’m rocking wixie at night or singing to sis. I usually start off thinking how awesome the kids are and how much I love this quiet time with them. Then as they drift off, my mind wanders and I practically have an essay written in my head before it’s time to tip toe out of their room. Problem is, I usually lose it all when I come downstairs to do the dishes, make lunches, or just veg in front of the tv. I realized last night that this quiet time is the ONLY time I give myself to just be. Perhaps I can recreate this feeling? Or, maybe I should make my writing time coincide with the kids’ bedtime. I’m going to try and write for a half hour right after the kids go to sleep. We’ll see how it goes. What works for you? Have you noticed a time of day when you think your best thoughts?
