Writing

Do you write? It's the most satisfying escape!
​
Earth melts away, stepping into strange new worlds.
​
Standing in someone else's shoes, there is no limit to what can happen next, full of surprises!
​
People are always saying , write what you know. In most cases, that's very true and we all draw from our experience of life as we go along. Of course, sci-fi fantasy is a big step outside that, and building a different world takes you way out of your comfort zone. It's fascinating, what the brain can create.
​​
It's a wonderful thing for your mental health too. Being in that moment, detached from your problems and the pressures of modern life, it's perfect mindfulness, almost like meditation.
​
Imagination and creativity are the most precious resources we have. They're what kept the human race alive so long, especially in survival situations. We all start problem solving as toddlers. As we grow, everyone applies it differently. That's what makes us individuals. So don't let the daily chaos steal it from you. Experiment and enjoy!
My tip: Read every day, discover another life and travel in your seat.
