BLING BLING

My last post was how I imagined my future writer self...

I made it look easy, no? 
I just imagined it and...
       **BLING ** 

It happened...

Living and writing in the Mexican Caribbean, that is.

And I told the story like I was living a fairytale...

But in my real world...

There were many crooked and gut-wrenching turns:

Failed marriages...

Breast cancer...

Deaths of dear loved ones...  

Including my beloved just a year after joining him in Mexico...

Plus many other heartaches & frustrations.

And I know you’ve had your share of sorrows...

Everyone has them; no one is immune.

But despite all those sadnesses...

I dared to dream...

It’s what I’ve done all my life...

I remember when I was younger my mom often saying...

“Your teachers say if you didn’t daydream so much

You’d get better grades.”

       **SIGH**
I know mom...
And if I could say to her now...

I’d tell her that those daydreams are what kept me going...

They’re the reason I write today...

I always see stories...

Usually humorous ones.
So?
What about you?

What keeps you going?

Always,

This post is part o the monthly Insecure Writers Support Group monthly blog hop founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh. It happens the first Wednesday of each month. 

December 4th question: Let's play a game. Imagine! Role-play! How would you describe your future writer self, your life, and what it looks and feels like if you were living the dream? Or if you are already there, what does it look and feel like? Tell the rest of us. What would you change or improve? 

Rewind twenty years ago... 

I imagined living by the Caribbean...

It's 4:30 in the morning...

I am writing  and drinking a cup of my favorite brew.

(Havana blend)

It'd continue the day with more writing and going to the beach... 

Eating fantastic meals with friends...

And then my day would end up with wonderful...

Well, That's too private to share. **wink wink** 

Anyhoo... 

It's twenty years later...

And I'm in Mexico...

On the Caribbean coast...

And writing at 4:30 a.m. most days. 

All the other elements of my fantasy do happen...

Just not every day...

But it's OK... 

I'm here! 

Though I didn't plan how I'd get here...

It just sort of happened...

Well...

I guess falling in love with a Mexican man helped me get here. 

The only thing I'd change is...

Realizing earlier that I wanted to make writing a career. 

How about you? 

Are you living your dream yet? 

Do tell. 

Always,

I'M FUMING!

The day was horrible!

The worst day ever!

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong!

Well, at least I’m still alive so that’s a good thing.

But other than that...

Why did everything go wrong?

Invisible tricksters?

The stars not aligned?

My biorythms were off?

I’ve gone loico?

Mercury was in retrograde?

The Universe is trying to tell me something?

Phew!
The only thing good I can say about today is...

I had a good poop.

OY!

If that’s the best I can say about my day...

I pray tomorrow will be better.

So?

Did you have a stinky day? 

Always,

Em-Musing
