Can a day dreamer be a writer?



I have been day dreaming since I was a little girl.  I can’t remember a time when I haven’t.  I would always day dream about a situation maybe something that happened in real life or in TV/movies where I would change the whole story, maybe be the heroine or maybe I would be another character.  In real life I would change the whole circumstance.  Don’t we wish we could do that! I always did.  As I went through life I was very shy, yeah, me shy, that is funny now I am not shy, I like to think I grew into myself  that way. 

So as some of us do, I met a man, well he wasn’t a man yet, I met him in high school and we became best friends and so much more.  So we stayed together and eventually got married.  We had our first child, which was not easy but we got through the trials and tribulations of being married with our first child.  Then we had our second child, a daughter two years later.  Well, God had a plan for us.  She was born traumatically left with multiple disabilities.  This was a trying experience for me and my husband.  But by the grace of God and with determination and commitment we successfully continued this path with her and then had two more children after. 

So now, with all these stories in my head, all the day dreaming I do, I would love to express it!  So here I am, going to take a chance and put it out there.  Whether I am a successful writer/author, or I am not, doesn’t matter, because I am doing this for me not for any other purpose.  I look at my daughter, the things she can’t do and I know if she could, she would do them.  I can do this, I have the ability to do this, and I have always wanted to do this, why not give it my all.   I would love to share all this with you, my family, my friends, fellow writers. 

So now the journey begins …
