This is a good thread. Fantasy writing has always helped me get away from reality. I can just read my books and get caught up in them, without having to worry about reality. Being a teen there is just so many things to worry about, but reading LotR is like having a whole other family, a whole other life, to go to and be apart of. Its also helped me be true to myself and become much more of a open minded person. I've always thought of having somewhat of a "open mind", but every since I started reading fantasy it just gave me a whole other way of thinking about things. I don't even want to know what I would be like if I hadn't discovered fantasy....
