Tis more than a dream
Imagine a job where you can work from home, or travel anywhere in the world, and work from that remote location. A job where you are your own boss, you can work your own hours, and set your own pace. No annoying co-workers to deal with. No one breathing down your neck. You decipher the subject of your work. And best of all, you get paid to do what you love, and the paycheck would be more than enough to substantiate a comfortable living.
I never thought of all these advantages of being a successful, professional writer. I mean, yea, I thought about it, but only to a certain extent. To be able to make it as a writer and it not only be an extension of who I am, makes my dream job even dreamier. I have loved to write since I was 8 years old. Probably the moment my 4th grade teacher Sr. Margaret told me I had a gift for writing affirmed it. And when my poem was published in a book of Children’s anthology after winning a contest when I was 8, how could it not further my itch to continue writing?
I know millions don’t make it. Even the really talented ones fail. I know it is not as simple as, “Ooh, publisher, I have a book for you. Publish it please.” And I’m sure the bulk of you are thinking of me with pity at this very moment because the odds are not in my favor. And that’s ok. I lose faith in my ability to pull this off as well. But I intend to persevere. No. I WILL persevere. Why? Because. I want to. I need to. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Brianne Lauren Write what you love. Write what you feel. There's always someone and in many cases, some thousands who are connected to your thoughts and feelings.
