Recently I’ve been having a recurring dream about clearing
out cupboards, in which I have a selection of cupboards full of stuff to sort
out and organise. I think this is about
not doing the things I should be doing -
like formatting the 4 books for Kindle which have been on my to-do list for
months now. It’s preying on my mind but
life seems to conspire against me so that whenever it seems I will get the time
to do it, something happens. Sigh. Cupboards and drawers (not the knickers
variety!) appear often in my dreams – usually, in the dream, I am about to move
house and have left everything until the last minute and realise that I haven’t
even made a start on the cupboards and it is the day of the move! Arrgggh!
And on the subject of dreams, I realise that I have, finally
and by default (redundancy) realised my childhood ambition – I am now, officially, a full time
writer. It’s taken nearly 40 years and I
think I’m so busy trying to keep on top of everything that I haven’t actually celebrated.
So if you always wanted to be a full time writer, don’t be
discouraged if it hasn’t happened yet.
Because, one day, it will. However long it takes.
Congrats on becoming a full time writer - even if it wasn't quite how you meant it to work!
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with the move - cupboards - OMG! Until you start, you never realise how much stuff goes into one cupboard...
No wonder you're having dreams about them!
Hi Deborah - thanks! Life works in mysterious ways...hope all is going well for you with the writing and riding. :)
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS! I'll buy you cake to celebrate :)

Thanks Vikki!
DeleteHaha, I have dreams like that, prompting me to get on with things! Congratulations on the writing - it took me a while to get where I thought I wanted to be, only to discover it wasn't what I expected, so now I'm still looking ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting how dreams can sustain us but when we think we have fulfilled them, they have already changed. When I was in my twenties and thirties I felt like I would have given anything to be a full-time writer but now I don't really feel that way. Probably because I have insecurities about money now! So I feel under more pressure to write, ironically. Life experiences certainly modify our dreams. And I know I haven't found my "Purpose" yet, and maybe I never will...
