Words - for a larger chunk of my life than not - have been a safe haven for me. Whether it be reading the great tombs of artists long since dead or a breath of familiarity in the newest YA release, even when I've lost my way from reading, I know that I always find my way back. All the way back to my childhood, the one constant that I'm sure of is that of books: being read to and by me, and eventually, being written by me as well.
