My Dream
A personal story in the experience: I Want to Write a Book
( this is just like my dream ...... :)
I don't even know how many times in the past year I have opened up a word document or a journal and tried to get ideas for some sort of book. Sometimes the motivation strikes me, other times not so much. A few minutes ago I caught myself doing this, so I figured I should come on here instead.
I know I'm capable of writing an excellent book, but in order to do this takes planning and brainstorming... all of which I'm not very good on following through on.
I want to get a piece of my mind into other people's minds. To me, that would be a great accomplishment.
You know the things that you think when you're not really meaning to think at all? Just the bizarre stuff that goes through your head on a daily basis? I want to make a book along those lines. Not really sure of the plot (again, brainstorming..) but I almost want it to be somewhat of a Kurt Vonnegut style... but not exactly. I just want my book to be different.. a part of me. Something interesting and new that will captivate readers and stun publishers... nothing bland and common.. I don't think I could ever write about my life.
Anyway.. this WILL happen.. someday. I am scared that it will be a huge project getting published. I hope that doesn't cause me to back out.
