It really can happen...

May 2, 2008

For years I have dreamt of being a writer. I would love to be a freelance writer and write and publish a chick lit novel. But with books being written by seemingly everyone these days it seems like an impossible task to actually write something someone will like, get publish, and then get people to notice it. I don't want to be famous like Stephen King but maybe just be a name that people who pay attention to that genre would know. I would even be happy with just being able to make a living out of it. It would be great to do something I love and at the same time can do at home while being with my son. I am very lucky to have a husband who wants me to go for my dreams and believes in me. I talk to him about taking classes and this and that and he listens to me. He doesn't think that this is an impossible dream that I will never reach. He sees my passion for it and cheers for me to make it. I love him for that.

I have now realized that it's not something that's unreachable. Why not go for my dreams? I think it would make me a better mom to Ryan for doing it. I want him to know that his mommy went for her dreams and believed in herself. I want him to know that I had goals and didn't let the "I'm not good enough" thoughts stop me. If I am good enough and if this is what God wants me to do... it is what I will do. Fingers Crossed :)
