Musings

The other day I had an interesting conversation with a friend. He was telling me how his wife was trying to become famous. Now this fame wouldn’t come through reality tv or coming into large amounts of money, but by selling her paintings. She paints or draws every single day to put her artwork in galleries and online. 

It struck me that she is completely, totally, and actively pursuing her dreams and goals. That is commendable. That is something  that I should be doing. But think about it: some people live to not become famous. My friend is perfectly fine with not being shot out into the limelight. But there are those people who want to be a part of this world in a larger way.

I think I want to be one of the latter. I have this dream of writing novels and sharing my passion for words and thoughts and characters that are in my mind. So why haven’t I been spending every day working on it? Why do I let time pass me and my dreams by? I know I can do this. I know everyone can grab what they want if they work for it. But I need to work.

Thank you for looking at this. It’s an encouragment to see even one person look. It means someone finds what I do interesting. I’ll try not to let you down. I will work more on my novel and put up interesting bits. Probably the funny bits.

Thank you again.
