I’ve made huge strides since August.
For the most part, I’ve been at peace.
Some friendships have grown deeper, and some have fallen to the wayside.
My health is better than it has been in a long time.
Yet…I find myself in a comfort zone.
Yes, I’ve been looking deep within, trying to figure out who I am and what I want to do. It has been pretty scary…but I’m still burying dreams deep within me.
One of my favorite things to do to unwind it read. I’ve traveled all over the world in books. I’ve been in Victorian England, the middle ages and everywhere in between. The thing that I do that makes me feel alive is writing.
I have a dream…and that dream is to write a book. Sooo…I’m starting to put pen to paper…or more accurately, fingers to keys.
I don’t know what the book will be about yet. I have had this idea for a long time…an allegorical, loosely auto-biographical fiction.
I spend a good part of my day encouraging people to follow their dreams. I think it’s high time that I follow my own advice.
What’s your dream?
I share that dream. I’ve been wanting to write and publish a book for a LONG time. I actually completed a manuscript once, but never published. Maybe some day…
Carpe diem! What’s stopping you?
What’s stopping me? Good question. Probably mostly because I’m afraid that it won’t be well received.
I have the same fear! Who wants to read what I’ve written? You know what? Neither of us will know until we do it. What’s the worst that will happen? We accomplish a personal goal?
Makes me wonder if my dream was actually to WRITE a book or to PUBLISH one. Hmmmm….
I’d love to proofread yours when the time comes.
I’ll need a proof reader…so I will keep you in mind! Writing and publishing are definitely two separate goals…but to publish you have to write 😊 I want both.
