Morning breaks and stirs you out of your sleep. You float into a habitual awareness; time, space, location, the day of the week. Your eyelids flutter open to muted thoughts only to close and shut down the daily tedium. You pull the covers up and turn to one side, flipping your thoughts into a daydream. Reality surrenders with surprising ease. A story is at the helm of your vivid imagination and you float with the tide as you ride the wave of your fictitious world. You finally awake, as you always do, but today something awakens inside.

Don’t you ever wish there was some way to harness that mental energy, or bottle it for later use? It’s so fleeting, so intangeable - like the moment you become aware of it and think about it, it vanishes. Still, it sounds like the waking part worked out well!

And that something is hungry…very very hungry.

Gboy: Yes yes yes! And if I could write short stories by merely thinking of them at that time of the morning, I’d be most happy!
Kami: Ravenous! Bring on the bacon and eggs and a strong latte.

Cléa: Cléa, why do you write about sleep when you post on the weekend?

I’m guessing what awakened was the desire to write the Great American Novel.
(I awoke one day with the desire to write A Good American Novel. Still working on that one…)

I’m hungry and need a nap…

Cléa: Get back to bed, will you… and leave the blog to me.
Zen: We share something in common. I had that awakening early last year and I’m still writing that novel…
JW: That describes my Sunday. Perfectly.

I’ve heard muses like to visit in that waking space.

GSR: Hmm… you seem well informed. And what a surreal time to receive muses.

Talking to yourself again Cléa? A ravenous hunger will do that. Nothing like the stomach talking to you in the morning that makes quite the conversation piece.

Kami: Not a morning conversationalist. More a grunt and run on autopilot!
