I used to write screenplays. It was my goal in life. I went to school. Got my MFA in Writing in an attempt to grow up to be a screenwriter. As time moved on, my goal became a dream, my dream became a hobby, my hobby has become a tidbit of information about myself that sometimes resurfaces.
Now I write and edit proposals and reports for a large engineering company. Some days, I look out the window and imagine the Executive Summary joins hands with the Statement of Work, and they dance together in a world of figures and stats.
I’ve never been a believer as writing as therapy. I guess this blog is the closest I’ll come.

Do I not care even if you pretend I do? Just curious, I guess.

I’ve always admired people who can write, who have the imagination to create figures like the one above in which the Executive Summary joins hands with the Statement of Work. But I guess the writing field is harder to break into than the engineering field I broke into with my literal left-brained mind. Maybe you’re young enough though to still have dreams. If so don’t lose them.

Keep writing. Keep writing no matter what. “No matter what” will happen a lot.

when i was younger. like 7 yrs ago. i also had big dreams. then bills and life came at me. now i settle for knowing my dreams will always just be hobbies. and i resort to expressing my anger in mildly gruesome illustrations. tear. tear.
