I'll lose track of time and, for a while, nothing exists but the world I'm creating. <br /><br />Movies and books are definitely good escapes too (and the two you mention are good ones!!), but not as immersive as writing for me.DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-72524752128924539782011-11-09T14:30:50.748-07:002011-11-09T14:30:50.748-07:00Joanne - No, I haven't seen that one.
