Crazy or Creative?

When I'm really getting into a story, I enter what I have just decided to call my "Story Zone". My family uses "Your seeing things", which I've never liked because it has a "crazy" ring to it. But I have to admit, it's accurate. Once I'm in the Story Zone, it's like everything looks like something else. It's like I've stepped halfway into my story.

The Story Zone

Yesterday morning I was trying to sneak out of the house without waking my husband. When I got to the door I stifled a scream because a strange guy was standing there, which seconds later turned out to be a coat hanging from the coat rack. Still catching my breath from the scare, I stepped outside and there was a tapestry stuck in the fence that upon closer examination turned out to be blackberries vines. Then I was sure I'd spotted a mini armadillo (rocks can take about any shape).

Some people at this point would probably check themselves in. Not me. The Story Zone is wonderful and fleeting. And it's a place where anything is possible and I'm going to take advantage of it today and write!

. . . or, of course I could also be crazy.
