I do it constantly by reading and writing. <br /><br />Your Gypsy Crystal is the perfect vehicle to whisk its readers into another world. I love it. <br /><br />In fact, I think it's about time for me to read it again. <br /><br />Congrats on a job well done.<br /><br />CathtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214517686422236219.post-21944104578024946872010-07-13T16:31:04.075-07:002010-07-13T16:31:04.075-07:00Hey Lorrie,

No internet though, emails and Facebook would distract me too much. :) <br /> <br />Funny thing Margaret said about the deaf ears. When I'm reading, on the computer or watching a movie, my Mom always accuses me of ignoring her. I tell her that I'm just THAT into the book, my story or the movie. <br />One time, I was in my bedroom, reading a suspense novel, and never heard my husband come in the door, never heard him come into the bedroom. I screamed like I was being murdered. He thought it was funny...the jerk. lol <br /> <br />I used to take the bus to work and on more than one occasion, I missed my stop because I was so engrossed in the novel I was reading. I even got on the wrong bus once. I was reading at the bus stop and never quite closed my book when I got on. I was halfway to Timbuktu before I realized my mistake. <br /> <br />Many years ago, after an extremely stress filled day at work, I decided to listen to a soundtrack-just music. I put the headphones on, sat back in my huge ratan chair and began to relax to the flute and violins. Then the banging drums and screaching flute started. I nearly had a heart attack! I think after that I needed a tranquilizer. <br /> <br />Now, I mostly relax with my writing or reading a book...though I am very aware of my surroundings. <br /> <br />All my best,<br />DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633975692255955745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214517686422236219.post-59103240484311824692010-07-13T12:33:39.395-07:002010-07-13T12:33:39.395-07:00Ah, if only I could absorb books through osmosis. ...Ah, if only I could absorb books through osmosis. So many great reads, so little time. :) I do my best, though, and sneak in a read whenever possible. Mine are more like mini-escapes, but still as needed.<br />I love that you incorporate local settings into your stories.Cate Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371792447604980848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214517686422236219.post-22380268478706897282010-07-13T12:01:45.666-07:002010-07-13T12:01:45.666-07:00Later sounds good to me too, I've been staring...Later sounds good to me too, I've been staring at the same sentence I wrote for 15 minutes.<br />Marva, you just signed with EP.

Seems like 'later' is getting later all the time.<br /><br />But like everyone else here, reading is my diversion from guilt-tripping myself for not doing the stuff I ought to be.<br /><br />By the way, everybody definitely snag a copy of Gypsy Crystal. It's very good escapist reading.Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214517686422236219.post-5714981834315125832010-07-13T10:42:30.745-07:002010-07-13T10:42:30.745-07:00Oooh,Amber, Cary Grant.

"Charge!"<br /><br />Margaret, Odo was one character I thought was fantasic. What an imagination the writers had. Of course I liked Quark too.<br /><br />I know you like to read epics, Lois. I've seen them. You have great taste in reading material.<br /><br />Maria, you are the true nomad. Love to travel, living in Mexico now.

That should have been the ultimate escape but there was a lot of work to surviving in the boonies. I escaped then into books. We practically read out the local bookmobile (well, except Westerns and Romance --- sorry if I stepped on toes). <br /><br />After that, we moved to Mexico --- another place considered a perfect escape. That's when I started to write in a big way. That was my escape. <br /><br />Once I started to write in earnest and think I might be able to actually do something with the writing, I walked the dogs for escape. We have three (one is blind)so that leaves two to walk. Let me tell you, I walk those dogs a lot. <br /><br />And then there's Tai Chi.<br /><br />And I still read a lot. The great thing about Lorrie's Gypsy Crystal is that it hooked a person not at all keen on romance or paranormal and kept her going to the end. <br /><br />By the way, Patti, there are some very striking book covers featured on that slide show.<br /><br />Great post, Lorriemaria altobellihttp://www.mexicoinsmallbytes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214517686422236219.post-23443738558301917452010-07-13T10:03:22.704-07:002010-07-13T10:03:22.704-07:00I agree with Amber about escaping into Cary Grant ...I agree with Amber about escaping into Cary Grant films. He was the best. As a writer, I also escape into epic books or books with series, like Harry Potter books. <br />I read Gypsy and wonder if there will be another book with Rita as the protagonist? I am hoping so (another escape for me??)

Okay, he used to dissolve into a blob sometimes, but aren't we all like that occasionally lol<br />I escape into books. My husband says I have my deaf ears on when I read, because I hear nothing except the characters voices. I'm there, beside them, fighting in their court, untill the final page it turned.
