Just the escape. Reading and writing both. I enjoy new worlds, new perspectives. Trading your problems with someone else's for just a while. I usually come back to mine feeling a little better about them. It can give you a breather from your life, and you can learn to see things from other people's point of view, all at the same time. Also, it can be fun imagining different worlds, all the possibilities that are there when you just take away what you have grown up knowing.

I have two novels I am thinking through, both in different stages of planning. Both very different worlds from each other. One is actually from a short story that was originally going to be in 'The Black Dress and Other Stories'. I struggled writing it so much when I got the project that inspired it, but then once it was finally done, I loved it, and both me and the professor I wrote it for agreed it sounded like the beginning of something. The other is a story I have had in mind for years, and what inspired me to get my degree, so I could learn to properly build the world. The world is now built, I just have to sit down and write it.
