Escape into world of fiction

Let's be honest - if authors like me didn't have creative writing as a sidetrack, we'd probably be in a lot more trouble.

I am talking about actual trouble. That may or may not involve handcuffs or jail time.

Admittedly, we do hear voices - but we write them down instead of answering them out loud.

Without a pen and paper, those character conversations in our heads might land us in a straitjacket.

Thankfully, writing them into novels is socially acceptable and occasionally even profitable. Please note the emphasis on "occasionally".
