I know it’s not the best title for a post but it is what happened on Wednesday. I went out shopping with mom to get some necessities and found a gem.
No not literally a gem. It was while we were at Hobby Lobby that I found the unexpected treasure. I was looking around in the frame department and then meandered over to the bins where the prints and photos for sale are stocked. A picture of a faery child in a boat reaching out to pick up a Lilly from the water caught my eye.
I picked it up and put it in the cart. I took me a few minutes to realize why I really wanted to purchase it. It looks like the main character from a short story I am working on. In one scene she is in a small boat on a pond and is picking up a water-lily from the water. Just like the picture.
I figured my muse was giving me a physical gift of the story to inspire me to get on with it again. Maybe not exactly a gift since I had to purchase it – lol. I smile when I look at it and can definitely ‘see’ what is to come in the story.
And here I thought I was just going out to buy necessities that I knew I needed. Thank you muse, I am listening.
Write on and on and forever on.
Hehe, reminds me of Sarah finding stuff in her attic from her grandmother, and how it all tied in to her book!
I love how life surprises us in that way.
That’s awesome! I think you should post the picture (or at least bring it to writing group so I can see.)
If I remember I’ll bring it with me so you can see it.
