The Economics of Following Your Dream
Every Moment I Spend Writing is a Moment I Steal…Or is it?
I came across a question in a writing support group a few days ago. Can you write too much? Is that a problem, or should you just let loose?
Well, yes and no.
Nobody seemed inclined to answer the question. So I replied. If you write so much that you are neglecting yourself or your loved ones, that is too much.
That questioner agreed.
But in-between starving yourself, letting your house devolve into the abyss of neglect, or ignoring your family, there are a lot of ways that following your dream may not be worth the cost. Then again, when dreams come true sparks fly.
However, we all know people who took the risk and failed. They are negative and insist it wasn’t worth it. They wish they had just saved themselves the failure and forgotten their dream. Or perhaps they feel they should have just grabbed onto a different dream.
Then there are the other people. The 1%, no I’m not talking about the richest 1%, I am talking about the 1% whose dreams came true. The people who are living their dream. They are dizzy and amazed at the dream sparkles flying around them.
