Living Vicariously

Living Vicariously...

This week, my son, Zach, is traveling with friends in Spain and Morocco. How cool is that?
Oh, how I wish I could be there to share the experience with him. But since I cant, I'll just have to live vicariously through him. And that got me thinking... Isn't that what readers do when they immerse themselves in a good book?
As writers, we use our imaginations to create places to go and characters we/they want to meet or even be!
We get to take ideas and use our intellect to craft words in such a way that they evoke images and stir emotions in the minds of others. How cool is that?
So, while I await the return of my son, I plan to keep busy writing, dreaming, envisioning my own paradise. It may not be quite as exciting as a trip abroad but at least you don't have to deal with jet lag and TSA!
