There are starry-eyed dreamers and then there are those long-armed dreamers who see their dreams within manageable reach. Long-armed dreamers are cloaked in a perpetual aura of busyness that creates a degree of angst in those around them.
"Do you ever just sit?"
"Well, of course...when I'm dreaming."
If you're a long-armed dreamer, you may have only one dream, a variety of related dreams continually bumping into one another, or dreams without the least connection to each other.
I'm quite thankful I don't fall into this last category. There's likely a tendency to run oneself ragged and I expect exhaustion (or insanity) is a chief complaint of this demographic.
I fall into the second category. Aside from working on Steeped, I've currently two speaking program ideas jockeying for position with: three new play ideas, two short story ideas, one unfinished short story much offended that two others are looking to further extend it's lack of completion, and a new children's book idea.
Or should I chuck it all and begin work on the edgy teatime mystery novel I see brewing?
Which curtain should be pulled open? I just don't know...and so...
"Help," she cried!
I do believe I'm in serious need of a dream manager.
And a really long life! But, more on that later this week.
