This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “glamorous,” comes to us from Sadje. Check out her blog here!
Myself being one of the least glamorous people I’ve ever met, I enjoy writing characters who are glamorous occasionally.
Characters who live in always clean huge houses with dozens of rooms and giant kitchens.
Characters who dress up and go to parties, balls, expensive restaurants.
Characters who go shopping for cars and furniture like it’s nothing.
Characters who wear makeup and own more than one pair of shoes …
Okay, maybe that last one is a bit close to home.
Aside from the makeup, cars, parties, balls, and restaurants, I dream of a lifestyle in which I could afford the things I write about.
I think that’s why I write it. It allows me to live vicariously through my characters.
I believe that’s what we do when we read about things we can only dream about, too.
What do you think?

That is why I love reading, I can escape into a book and dream, and live vocariously through the characters in that book!

I used to fantasize about being rich and having Many Things, and then I realized that, if I had one thing, I couldn’t have the other things. And if I had All The Things, it would be total sensory overload for me. So I enjoy looking at fancy exteriors and interiors, pretty lady dresses, exotic makeup, cool cars, views from porches, and in the fantasy, it’s mine, but I have no worries or responsibilities for it. And then I turn the page and I have an entirely different beautiful life. And then another page, another indulgence. And when I come back to reality, I have the life I actually chose, and I’m happy.
