One of my best talents, and possibly my most useless talent, is occupying myself by staring at the same wall. For hours. And hours. Or the ceiling as I lie awake at night, plagued by story ideas and ideas for scenes in my novels.

Long car ride? No problem! Just turn up that radio and let my imagination take over! I love driving for this very reason. Getting trapped inside my own head is the best kind of vacation. I get to meet new, interesting people. I get to create and explore. I get to live dozens of different lives in a variety of different worlds. And one of the best parts? I can relive scenes over and over as if they had just happened in real life.

Useless talent? Many people might think so. But I am grateful for it nonetheless. Happy November, everyone!
