In the Zone
Just as Maxzyne forgets herself and all of her troubles while sketching for Rosa, I also have a similar experience while in the energy of a creative zone. It's a little magical, that space, where I step out in faith and move toward the story. Sometimes, I'm not sure who is creating the work, because it seems given to me in flashes of insight and inspiration. I have to trust the source to be there for me as I skim this imaginary river of my story world and pluck jewels from beneath the ever-changing surface. The characters and story come to life in ways that I may not have ever imagined - but somehow I did! Hours later, I finally rise from the keyboard. As I review what was written, I realize that while time stopped, the words flowed from that sacred source and I am grateful.
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
She looks around the room and spots a notebook and several pens on the table beside the seated policeman. “Excuse me. Uh, sir? Do you mind if I use one of these pens?” Her voice squeaks a little, embarrassing her.
The man doesn’t even look up from the computer screen. “Sure, kid. But no funny business. Captain Logan will have our heads if we lose you again. He’s taken a personal interest in this case, so no trouble.”
“No, sir. Not me.” She grabs a blue ballpoint pen from the table. Rosa watches curiously as she retrieves the doomed sketch of Miss Garrett from her pants pocket. She carefully unfolds the page and turns it over. Seconds later, she forgets everything except the drawing of a horse and young rider that takes shape under her skillful eyes and fingers.
