I have experienced an uncanny phenomenon when I write, especially when I write somewhere other than my desk. As I write I often find myself searching for the right word or the correct direction for my story. As I search, grasping at straws, discarding overused words and lame ideas, serendipity conspires to hand me the solution to my dilemma.

A song lyric, a news soundbite, a conversation fragment, can ignite a spark providing all the right things at exactly the right time. The writing continues. The muse smiles.

Do random encounters fuel your writing?
