The imagination is a wonderful thing. It creates possibilities and dreams from experiences and knowledge. It takes us to places we have been or to where we want to go. It can take the daily reality and fill it with excitement.
Imagination is important to a writer. Even when writing about real-world experiences it is necessary to allow the imagination to fill in the gaps of our mental pictures. It can make the ordinary into something extraordinary.
I have written very little creative fiction in years. Most of what is in this blog is based on something that occurred or, in the ordinary, everyday fabric of living. Perhaps I will inject a little fiction into this over the coming months. I will attempt to make note when I do so. I certainly wouldn't want someone confusing some grand adventure with my ordinary life.....
Stay tuned.
Chris
