writing as a membrane - I wish I'd written that :)

I've been thinking a lot about why I write recently, and what you've written here really captures the essence of it. I liked when you wrote about a sensation of living out an alternative reality. I also think that sometimes, writing helps me more actively appreciate the current reality. It encourages me to pay a lot more attention to my life (even the parts of it that might seem boring) and, when I'm writing a lot, I tend to seek out experiences to have something to write about. Thus, the writing makes my actual life more exciting too.
