Don't get me wrong, I love the day job and my
coworkers. It's a matter of what I am needing and not getting anymore.
I love projects. I love to be challenged mentally to
create something from a singular idea. The problem is that in real life I'm
nearly stagnate.
Writing has always been my refuge, as reading is my
relaxation time. I sometimes even reread my own stories again, and still love
the characters. I remember how it was to write a certain scene and I'll smile.
There is nothing like words flowing together perfectly on the page to make you
fall in love with writing. The characters, their flaws and struggles are all a
part of the story of their lives. They are an escape. Their adventures are
exciting as I cheer them on to a happily ever after.
I suppose I have to accept that the realities of real
life will always be, but if not for those realities I wouldn't have the great
escape of writing. One is not independent of the other, but rather facets of
the same sparkling gemstone.
My writing is not limited to fantasy, paranormal,
erotica or otherwise. I am a writer. I create moments, weaving together words
to build a portrait. Whether that image depicts my own life accomplishments, a
fictional story, or just a shared thought, it's words that bring it to life.
Happy reading. I'm off to write.
