I'm really glad I'm not alone with my perceptions of the world around me changing. I've seen things so much differently - in two ways - the way LMP suggested, but also I see everything as potential story material. I went on holiday over the weekend to a 'Joust Festival' - a Ren (Renaissance) Fair to you Americans - the first ever in Britain with ful contact jousting and demonstrantions of war horse training since they were banned several centaries ago. All around me I saw people in costumes from the time frame my story is set in - and everything was stary material - right down to the detail of palace life and The Joust. Too bad I didn't take a pen and pad of paper! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
