“Be the change you want to see in the world” Ghandi
I have given this advice to many people over my twenty eight years ,but failed to take it for myself until recently.
Always living to my families’ expectation of being a doctor, my only dream was of being a writer of fictional novels and although my imagination is great, I was always pushed down by my family because of my dyslexia amongst other things.
I wrote so many introductions to books that got burned,I was so pressured to be some white coller boy,that I gave up on my dreams completely until I met my wife.
I wanted to show beauty through imagination and for the first time I’m writing novel about a hero that was imagined when I was fifteen “ Vyr the last Rozyak”
I am afraid but trying,finally, to follow my own advice.
As the title suggests I wrote this in response to todays Prompt at Dailypost
I love that quote. I am rooting for you!
Thank you. I’m been trying to bet my bibliography of the ground it seems all I do is revisions etc this has been going on for 3 years…I too have been tied up with family friends and volunteer work it seems I always put my book on the back burner…grrr…Hopefully I can get past this…block or whatever…maybe its too personal and I’m afraid to put myself out there…still trying to work on it in spite of myself.
Thank You so much for taking the time to read and make a comment. I understand what you mean it can be very daunting to step out into the big wide publishing world, but I am sure once you do you will find it is all worth it. Hang in there, You’ll do great
Good for you! (And your wife!)

One of our biggest problems in life is that we listen too much to other people, rather than doing what we were created to do. I’m so glad you are pursuing your dreams, and I pray the Lord blesses you in your pursuit. I’m 51 years old, and I too, have always wanted to write a book, and you know what? There’s no time like the present to do it.
