Honestly

I use fantasy worlds as a coping mechanism.

I feel that without fantasy, I would not have survived until this day.

My work in progress is based on a game I use to play with my best friend, we even call each other our character's names in real life. Everyone else thinks it's weird, but without that everything would have been different.

Without that game I wouldn't be here with a passion for writing and fantasy books. I wouldn't even have a passion.

It's strange thinking about it, but it's true.
