You are a dakotaraptor. Not just any dakotaraptor, no, you're a hungry and starving carnivore, desperate to sink your ivory fangs into the fleshy bloody hides of those lumbering herbivores. As you creep viciously in the shadows, you lift your snout and hiss darkly, retracting your sickle toe claws back to silence your steps. Your heart throbs and your stomach snarls quietly, writhing inside your body as it eagerly desires some fresh meat. Out of the faint breezes of the Cretaceous, you catch the strong aroma of nearby prey digging into the back of your mind, nostrils expanding ever more wider as you growl in hunger and follow the scent. Your tail constricts while you walk towards the smell, claws clutching tightly to itself and knife-like teeth rubbing against each other within your maw. It's only when you poke your head out the shadows of the forest and spot your target when your maw salivates and drips with warm drool. The blood roars in your ears as you pad a little closer, now inches away from dinner, and with one large screech, you lunge.

Right into a book.

Of course, a raptor cannot physically jump into your novel just like that. And yes, that makes absolutely no sense to throw yourself into a piece of paper. But you can make your story real if you sink into the mindset and let your prehistoric-spirit change into something else. Writing about the past doesn't just test your knowledge, it changes you too.
