It's true, one life isn't enough. This is why I read and why I write.
I read because it gives me the chance to be a princess, which is something all little girls dream about being but few are lucky enough to be. On the other hand, I can be a ballerina or a figure skater, which would have been a viable dream, if there wasn't a magnet between my butt and the ground. Reading give me a chance to fly across the galaxy and learn the way of the Jedi, or fly on a broom and cast spells or even battle Napoleon's army on the back of a dragon thus satisfying my inner nerd. I can be a bounty hunter, a detective, a cop or even a lawyer and protect people from the grip of crime. I can fall in love over and over again. It is an amazing feeling.
With my writing, I can take it even further. I get to explore the parts of me that still yearn to get out. I can deal with my inner diva, the part of me that always wanted to be on the silver screen. I can open the restaurant that dominated my dreams for the better part of ten years. I can be a doctor or a musician or whatever else catches my fancy and the best part, once I get to the end of the story, I get to change my mind about who I am and do it all again.
