A (relatively) safe space made of words to escape inside
So much of this resonates with me right now. Thank you for putting it into words.
You're so welcome, Sha! It's nice to sit down every morning and think of what I'm doing as crawling inside a space made of all the coziest blankets. I feel a little fuzzy-headed when I'm done, too!
I couldn't agree more. That cavernous quiet as the rest of the world revolves on the other side of the sheets.
Yes, that!
Novel as constructed reality. Novel as cocoon. Novel as blanket fort. Reading or writing, I will choose any of these every time.
Yes, cocoon is a good one, too. Thanks, Alexandyr!
Loving your posts, Robyn!
Thanks, Karen!
Terrific post! Nothing like being in the middle of a novel to keep the real world at bay.
Yes, exactly, Barb. Especially a historical novel, in which I can literally exist in a world very different from this one.
