God, my last post was a mess. And I call myself a writer. Yeah... A writer that doesn't proofread. Well, that's what I get for writing while I'm forcing myself to stay awake. So I'm curious. Is it bad to dream big? Because after thinking about everything I've ever wanted to do in life. It always seems a little bloated (Hugely). To the point of being unrealistic. Back in High school, I made friends with some of the best people I know. Jared, Nick, and Liam. They could all draw to, very well, better than me. And they too, came up with some great stories, and worlds. I had always thought that I couldn't have just happened to become friends with these misfits for no reason.
There is something larger at play here. I bet if we all came together we could take the art world by storm. We could make our books and stories. The entertainment industry would recognize us, and we would make it big. I think Nick felt the same. But eh, now he does music. We all change eventually. I still to this day think we can, but you know. People will do what they want to do. I have no right to forge your path. Hell when I wanted to look at food trucks, I wanted it to go so big that eventually it would expand into buying more and being all over the place as a mobile chain.
Even me wanting my own house seems to be a bit much, well maybe not too bad. At the end of the day. What I want is a four or five bedroom house with at least three bathrooms, two pools, one that's four to five feet deep, and another that goes to eleven. A theater room filled with nerdy movies I love to watch and surround sound. Let's see... Oh! There also has to be an arcade room, library and one hell of a man cave where each wall is costumed designed to look like Star Wars Episodes three through six.... Jesus that is a shit ton.... Moving on!
I have a friend who also wants to write a book, but her goal is a lot more grounded. She just wants to put it out there, and have the satisfaction of saying that she did. And that's cool. I understand that. Simple dreams are nice, but for some reason I shoot for the fence on what I want. Even with this manuscript. As it stands right now with the word count, there is more there than the first Harry Potter Book... And I'm just a little over halfway done. That's not even the end of it. If I can just manage to get this to an agent. I can move on to the other seven books I plan to write for it. Oh my lord do I aim high. After that, I even want to write at least three more separate stories with an unknown number of books in them.
I even want to use that as my way in, and write comic books. But that's okay, right? I'm not just some delusional asshole am I? Probably but let's think about this. Everyone who has ever been anything in this world dreamed of getting there. You have to dream big if you want to go big right? Am I crazy?! Probably. But that's not the point. The point is, that you should dream big, and do everything you can to achieve it.
One last thing. Seeing as I mentioned my friend, and his music switch, I feel it's only fair to send a link for his band because their music is actually pretty good. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheRightsidersBand/
