Chasing a Dream. As a writer of books or
other fictional material we are in a sense chasing a dream that our novels will
become a best seller and give us the notoriety that other writers have achieved.
We
are responsible for ourselves, our children and our husbands or wives. And if
that isn’t enough to worry about we take on the roll of responsibility of our
characters. We can kill them off at any time. We can shoot them, stab them or
just make them lam. In our characters we have to create, mold, and give them a
reason to exist. Make them the hero that people love or hate.
We
sit in front of our computers, keyboards with our fingers on the letters and
try to figure out what they are going to say, how they are going to act, dress,
and how they will move. Many times the characters tell us what they want to say,
dress, and act. Whether it’s tough or gentle, caring, or callous.
Much
like our lives, we dream of better lives, having future, and we ourselves mold
ourselves to be loving, trusting, giving, or just plain I don’t give a damn
about you or anyone else. Having a big heart sometimes gets in the way of our
good senses and causes us to be more trusting then our other senses tell us.
That little voice tells us you’re in for a big fall when your dream goes up in
smoke!
Trouble
is we still hold on to the dream of beings. To be able to give to our families,
and to ourselves. Dreaming isn’t a bad
thing, we just have to keep dreaming, giving, and trusting. That’s who we are
and that’s okay. Listening to that little voice can save us from heartache if
we listen and keep us out of trouble. Having a big heart isn’t all bad. It
makes us who we are and that gives us a glow that others will see.
As
for me, yes I have dreams and hopes. I wouldn’t want to have a cold heart and
never caring about anything or anyone. Those types of people are miserable,
angry at the world and they say they have ice water running through their
veins. Those are the people who strip us of our pride, our dreams and give us
doubts, fears, and make our hearts ache.
So
it’s up to you, to have a great life, or a miserable one.
May
God Bless!
