Writing takes you to a place you haven't been, Yet.

Reading does the same.

The difference is that, with writing, you become like a demigod. You decide what happens, when and how. You're able to create a world you wish to be in or not to be in.

A world where you have ultimate control. A world that doesn't exist but at least you feel and understand it.

Now, that is power,
Like thunder in the hands of Zeus.
