They say that to escape reality is when you sleep, but when you sleep your sub conscious is in control of your dreams. For me to escape reality is when I read and write. When I read the world around me doesn't exist. The world in the story does and when I write I'm in control. Think of it as the author is the god of the world that they created. They set the characters fate.

If writers stopped writing about what happened to them, then there would be a lot of empty pages.

As long as music survives, poetry will never die.

I write because that is what I am supposed to do.

I know it's difficult in the beginning. But, listen. If you have the impulse to write, do yourself a favor, do the world a favor, and write.

If you're frightened of the countless number of books in the library, you'll never write anything, until you close your eyes and hold the pen.
