Poems, stories etc. I will suddenly get the odd phrase come into my mind whilst doing the most mundane of tasks. Inspiration just struck as I was halfway through cleaning the bathroom, heaven knows why, as I can see no connection between pouring Domestos down the loo and a single sentence about missing someone. 
I then have to scurry off and write it down, always longhand and usually at the back of the pad I keep for shopping lists. The line or sentence will then be left alone there until I find a companion or two to join it 
.
Sometimes this will take weeks or months until I suddenly think of something to go with it, and even then it is not always in the right order, if you know what I mean. I might have the bare bones of the beginning and the end, but no middle, or just a few random words, a phrase of description, anything! (The old man and the cat poem was left in that state for ages)
I never plan to write things, unless it is a request for some daft verses for some event, but for me verse is very different from the odd poem that I may right.
I know there are a few of us scribblers out there, and was interested in how it happens for you.
(Bet it's not with your rubber gloves on and cleaning under the rim) 
What was your happiest moment today?
