What is Your Dream?
Do you sit around wondering 'what if' or 'how would I ever become a...'?Here is my advice: If you have a vision do whatever it takes to attain it no matter what is at stake (legally please).
I have had this dream of writing a book for years and years since I was six years old. I hit every literary agency in America, pounded on every door of every publishing house I could find, with no success.
If this path isn't working for you then there is nothing wrong with self-publishing your work.
If you have the craving to see your dreams in print than self-publish your work.
And, yes there will be typos and some grammar glitches (unless you can afford expensive editors) but that is okay! It's the story being told in-between the pages that is most important. Somewhere down the line you will 'catch' the eye of the bigger fishes in the pond and will be signed!
Even if you don't want to be a writer, let us say you dream of becoming the next greatest NASCAR driver, then pay for the lessons to learn, study the car, read every book, website etc., on the matter; build your own car!
Dream outside of the box and just go do it.
What I am trying to say is this: Life is too short, too fast for everyone to be your critic. Listen and learn, but don't get discouraged; go do what you have dreamed of doing all your life no matter how many people say you can't or someone points out your faults.
Instead of sitting around thinking 'what if', go and grab your vision and listen to your own heartbeat. It will guide you.
So, to those who want to knock someone down for their dreams, who tell others about the 'typos' in someone elses life; please, remember one thing:
They have a dream and dreams are what this nation was built on.
Feelings can and do get hurt; but instead, encourage your neighbor to build that race car, help someone design their designer label line; lift the spirit of someone disheartened over many closed doors. But, most important, love life, love your neighbor and be quiet.
Dreams are being made.
