This week-long countdown brings you closer to an urban fantasy, character-driven story, and brings me closer to my dream. I'll clarify a little bit, though. The idea of a "dream" hasn't always resounded with me, because real life isn't exactly geared toward one specific goal without regard for any of life's other big deals. And, when it comes to writing the stories and characters I love, to wrap it up and label it a "dream" is on equal grounds with identifying an orange by the peel. It's the taste of the orange that makes it so appealing. Stamping "dream attained" on The Yarns of Gods only once it's published doesn't measure to all the delightful and strange emotions I'm feeling now, nor the obsession with writing I've been living since I was young. I can't imagine myself without a book on the go. Whether the stories are published or not, I doubt I'll ever stop writing. At this point, it isn't so much a dream as it is my identity. And now, only seven days remain until I can finally share this part of my identity with the rest of the world.
