Some things are good distractions...

I have to admit that despite being crazy in other ways (or at least I used to be),  I derive a certain release and relaxation when contributing to my written fantasies and hobbies.  I have to be able at some point to let the stressors of the world go and enjoy something blatantly unreasonable.  I cherish the moments that I spend on Dinotopia and my own fanfiction in this world.  Ever since my childhood I have been unable to resist the beautiful illustrations which James Gurney placed so skillfully as to create a new world for us.
