Shannon, That’s wonderful. You know what you need to do and you’re going for it. That’s all that’s important. Good luck with the dance tests.

I have learned that sometimes pursuing your dream takes sacrifice. Mine is waiting for grad schools to start accepting applications again for Autumn 2006. In the meantime I’ve been learning a new language, volunteering at a non-profit and working to pay the bills that I know will be coming. All of these things will help me get where I want to go…that and being married to a cop means I have to take his needs into consideration, but he’s all for me pursuing my goals, so that definitely helps.

Trace, You do really have to want your dream to go after it. Sadly, most people don’t want it that bad.

I’ve always wanted to write. Since I was a kid. I have a friend who has always wanted to write, but she keeps making excuses not to. She was a stay at home wife for four years, with no job, no kids, and she wrote a few chapters, then gave up. Now she has a baby and says she has no time because she’s a mother. I know many mothers, some with five or six kids, who work and yet they find the time.

I work 8-5 and have very little time but I still make the time to write.

I think where there’s a will there’s a way. I think you really have to want it.

It’s so nice to see so many of you doing what you love. Unfortunately, in my old job that wasn’t the case. People often times put off their dreams for various reasons. The biggest being time. I was no exception until the day I had the epiphany. I’m just sorry it took such a tragedy to clear my ‘vision’.

Tara, Thanks for stopping by. I had a dear friend who picked up a two years ago and moved to Australia. She’s loving Sydney. Sometimes dreams exist in another time zone. Good for you for being brave enough to go after yours.

I hear you, Dream. I had to work around my job for a year or so until I got the ball rolling. It’s never easy, but I’ve heard the stories of some of the grand dame romance writers. Several of them had it far rougher than I did. They would get up at 3-4 in the morning just so they could write for a couple of hours before they went to work and while their kids slept. I figure that’s dedication and a strong desire to succeed.

I’m doing what I want to do! Well, I’d like to add a lot of overseas traveling to that, but for the most part, I’m happy with this career choice!

I’m with Sylvia(though, w/o the husband *G*): I would just like to travel around the world and experience different cultures and just…marvel. In fact, this urge to travel is even more persistent than the writing at the moment. Doh!

I want to travel the world at my leisure. I need more money and a retired hubby. *g*
