There are dinosaurs in NTX! Dinosaurs! Did you read that? How cool is that?? Ironically enough, the bones were discovered by a guy who doesn't believe the earth is older than 4000 years. He was out fishing and lo and behold he found bones.
Can you imagine what he said to his wife?
-Hey honey, I found a dinosaur in that creek out back.
-I don't care if you found Jimmy Hoffa, don't be tramping those muddy shoes in my house.
Does this challenge his belief in the earth's age? Who knows. That's not the point of the blog.
Can you believe those bones had been there for all those years, the finder had tramped over them many times, as he said: he thought it was a rebar, and never realized what they were?
How often are we like that in our ideas? How often do we tramp all over something and never realize what it really is? Monsters that inhabit our creative mind that can bring our stories to life, if we'd only recognize them for what they are.
Go forth, and maybe you can find a hidden dinosaur. :)

Great blog! That's an interesting idea that we could trample over stuff and finally see it and come up with a great new idea.
Everyday life is full of potential plot points and story lines. Sometimes all we need to do is sit, listen, and take the time to observe inorder to come up with great characters and interesting plots.
