Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Some days, when I'm writing and I get that nagging desperation to just get it out of my head and onto paper (or, less romantically, Microsoft Word), it's really a good thing after all. Because when the time comes that I just want a story to help me escape and the perfect book has yet to present itself, I can always write my own. I'm very thankful for this talent with which God has blessed me.

A day like today is going to need all the distractions I can get in my free time, and I think the happy stress of trying to find just the right word or whatever is going to do the trick quite nicely.
