“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn” (Anne Frank).
When I write, I escape. I imagine that was how Anne Frank managed to survive as long as she did as she lived in imminent fear of discovery by the Nazis. Fortunately, I don’t need to escape from such real life horror; escape for me is a luxury. I can write freely about anything I want, utilizing a vivid imagination. And while I am concerned about the current state of the world, I am not in imminent danger of being discovered by anyone. Although it would be nice to be “discovered” by readers, editors and publishers. What say you? 11/2/23
