The Sweet Escape

I have strangely found myself singing a song by Gwen Stefani lately. I’ve never been a huge fan of hers, but I do have to say that her song” The Sweet Escape” has class. I’ve even picked it as my current song on my Myspace page.

I think that the first part of the chorus is what calls out to my soul as a writer. “If I could escape, and recreate a place that’s my own world, and I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together, now tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?”

What writer doesn’t strive to do this on a daily basis? We are constantly working to recreate our world as we know it through the power of our pens and minds. Each and every article or story is a sweet escape that we love. Of course some of those escapes are better than others, but what a great job we have! My mom used to tell me that I spent too much time with my head in the clouds. Maybe so, but just look where I am today!

I feel fortunate to be able to live my dream of writing for a living. If every assignment isn’t a dream, then the next one may be. It’s at least worth my time to hope and create my life as a writer. Not everyone gets to do what I do and I can truly say it’s like a dream come true. I am grateful to have my sweet escape.
