Dreams

Ever had a dream that you were already an author? Published, widely read, JK Rowling popular? I had a dream like that the other night. It was equal parts really fun and frustrating because I enjoyed the things I was doing, (signings, attending Comi-Con, talking with fans...) but I couldn't grasp just WHAT I was famous for writing. I was hoping that it might give me a direction, a way to figure out just what it is my soul is telling me I need to write. Mostly though, it was fun. It showed me that I really do enjoy this maddening labor of love. I'm a word lover, a fondler of syllables, an insatiable gourmand of morphemes and neologisms. I long for my own full copy of the Oxford English Dictionary...all 20+ volumes. Words are amazing things and I adore them.
