I allow
myself to be absorbed into books.
So the other
night I finished a new book that I had been dying to read. And I cried myself to sleep because the ending was so beautiful
and tragic and wonderful. Taylor was asleep and I just kept crying and sobbing
over this story.
I don’t know
a lot of people who let themselves get so involved in a book. I’ve seen people
cry at movies and sporting events, but very rarely have I seen someone cry
because of something they’ve read.
Maybe it’s
because I’m a writer, but I am the perfect target audience for authors. I react
just as expected at ever part of the book, overreact sometimes even. But I love that I can feel so connected to
characters and plot without even having an image to go with it.
I hope my
readers feel the same.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Let yourself
get swept away by whatever you’re reading. That’s the only way to really enjoy
it.
