A real life situation led me to think about what was occurring and what it could mean.  My creative juices began flowing and I found myself sitting down and writing an outline for a novel.  I wrote for six hours that first day and another six hours the next day.  I realized that the story had the potential to be very intriguing.  It was the kind of story that I would love to read.  The challenge was making it come to life.  I dedicated myself to doing that and I am very excited about the final product.
