Random Thought

"Realizing all your dreams are coming true is an admission of fear as well."
Fear that once you get what you want you will have to do well with it. Have to use it, take it or own it so it can really be everything you want and in doing that, there is always room to fail or not live up to your expectations.

This thought ran through my head this morning when I was thinking how very much I want to be a writer. A GOOD writer. One whose works are liked and respected and thought of as pretty damn fantastic reads. LOL
I think of writers who I am so fond of right now - Stephanie Meyers, J.D. Ward, Jodi Picoult (oh I love her!), Anne Rice (yeah I still dig her) and a few others and how I would love to be as good as them. I read their books and there are parts that I read over and over because they just hit me in a certain way. They make my heart constrict or make me want to cry or make me need a cold shower *grins*.
I want to be that good one day.
I have moments where I have written a sentence and thought "Oh damn that was good!" but these writers have whole books of "Damn that was good!"

So yeah....there is my little ramble for the morning and I realized I haven't posted since the end of December. 
My this seems like it just came out of nowhere but I guess, it really did! :)

random, life, writing
