I love to read and write. Mostly, I love to improve my writing and escape to other worlds creatively crafted by words and ideas. I call this my zen, from the Japanese word Zazen meaning meditation. My husband once told me, "You never just relax, you're always writing." To this I replied, "I am relaxing. This is how I relax." I still do not think he understands. Only a fellow writer can every truely understand.
