I have a tendency to believe that exercise and meditation are sort of "escapes" too....And the people I know who do those things, do them to the extreme just like those of us who read a lot or watch a lot of TV or do Renaissance Fairs. However, they get to be self-righteous about it because their hobbies are "healthy." My hobby is building my vocabulary and reading speed, so there.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854914269181294443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-24902021974164128862011-08-30T15:28:49.963-07:002011-08-30T15:28:49.963-07:00Aren't we all looking for a degree of escapism...Aren't we all looking for a degree of escapism? That's why movie makers rake in millions, esp. over the summer.

Certainly, I've never felt that the act of writing is one of escapism. After all, who is doing the writing?stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388674850920848503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-32603740591523578062011-08-30T11:50:59.738-07:002011-08-30T11:50:59.738-07:00I'm a non drinker and unless I make a point of...I'm a non drinker and unless I make a point of announcing it (not so likely ;p) no one knows. My only recommendation is to have a glass of fizzy in hand and sip it slowly (very slowly) so if anyone asks if you want a drink just smile and raise your glass to show it's full(ish). Course letting your inhibitions loose takes some practise, but it's quite fun *grin*<br /><br />Re writing because we must.
