To Fellow Writers . . . Dare to Dream - Write Anyway!

Dare to Dream - Write Anyway! BY Marilyn Beker
"Writers dream deep with eyes open. We dream about stories, character and themes -- about villians, heroes, ladies and dragons. But mostly we dream about writing, about the process of writing. We dream about having written, about the feeling we get when we've written well. We dream about communicating what we deeply feel to friends and strangers. We dream about touching someone with our words; about changing lives; about affecting the world in a deep and meaningful way.

We dream about sharing secrets, about healing wounds, about providing insights and about solving problems. We dream about moving people with hearts of stone and about comforting people with hearts-a-bleeding. We dream about righting wrongs and championing causes. We dream about scaring people and making them laugh. We dream about teaching and learning; we dream about telling people who we are, who they are, who we all are.

. . . It's only daring to dream, our relentless pursuit of those dreams, our determination to realize our dreams -- it's only by never giving up and writing anyway that we become the kind of writers (and people) we want to be."
