You know, I don't mind dreamers, in fact, I sort of wish I was more like them more often. As a matter of fact, I used to dream or day dream all of the time, but I now know as I get older and wiser, that dreams are one thing, and doing is another.
In my youth, I used to play my flute in the Boston, MA subways (yep, that was me a very long time ago) and there was this guy who I played with who had all kinds of great dreams. We'd create a CD together, we'd record and tour the country, we'd be #1, we'd have all original music, yada yada yada...yeah, none of that came true. Well, for me anyway, I'm not sure what he's doing these days.
I know it's great to have these dreams, but what's more important is to actually go out and DO them. I know it takes courage to actually do it, but if I can get out there to get my book published and I seriously never ever thought it would ever be published, I DID it!
You do need to do your homework. Figure out if the book store really exists, not just look at a website. See what other kinds of books they sell, look at where they are located. Make friends and think outside the box if you need to.
I'm still dreaming that the book will turn into a #1 Best Seller, but I know that will take time. I also decided not to do more than what I can actually handle. I'm no spring chicken anymore, but I want to keep on this "Journey" as long as I possibly can.
Thanks for your support and keep on dreaming!
