i’ve been aiming high
guess i’ve always known
i’d be looking on my own
for a second
i thought i found it tonight
TRANSVIOLET - Long Shot
The Dream: the absolute sky-high dream that I’m shooting for. Indulge me.
- I finish writing my novel.
- I find an artist.
They perfectly illustrate my words.
- I find a literary agent.
- I send my novel to Simon & Schuster, Dark Horse, Penguin Random House, Harper Collins and other top publishers.
I want to go the traditional route before resorting to online self publication. I’ve been dreaming it that way since I was six years old. I have to try.
- One of them will like it.
Maybe even more than one.
- They find it relevant and exciting.
And marketable.
- Book tour.
- On the shelf at every major book store.
- That “Best-Selling” sticker.
- A movie, comic book or tv deal.
Joss Whedon wants to direct.
- Officially start my second novel.
- The second novel gets me a Pulitzer.
I know it sounds out of the realm of possibility. And I know that much of this may never come true. But what if it would have, but I never tried? Fuck that, I’m going after my wildest dreams.
Sometimes, I worry that it’s terrible, that I’m the worst writer. But I’ve never let that stop me. I will never look in the mirror and tell myself that my dream could never come true for me. Its never over, as long as I never give up.
If it doesn’t happen exactly like that, that’s okay. If I have to abandon the traditional route and figure out how to self publish, I will do that. If I get a publisher and an editor tells me to change things, I’ll do that. I’ll make it work. They’re the professionals, after all.
I’m so cut out for this. I just know I am.
If ever a reader see this, I hope you never give up. I hope you never look in the mirror and say that your dream is stupid or impossible.
I hope you do everything it takes to get yourself everything you deserve.
“Cheers!” She bellowed into the void.
Thanks for reading.
