My dream

Well, here goes:  This is the plunge.  I've given over a year to this thought, and I'm very timid about posting it here.  I'm hoping my friends will be supportive, or keep their thoughts to themselves.  I honestly can NOT take any negativity right now.  I will mirror this entry on my Bogger journal...just to be up front and honest.
 
I visualize a book.  A coffee-table book or something.  I see the pictures, but don't yet see the text.  I may ask for help on that later.  I see some of Mom's poems, some of my memories, and some interview results.
 
I honestly won't say, yet, what I plan to do, but I'm starting on Friday.  I know the pictures that need to be taken.  I know how to organize them.  I know what I'm looking for.  I hope Mom will join me on my journey.  If I become a famous, published author, you all get a free copy of my book.  If I'm a proven failure, I'll deal with it, and appreciate your support.  If I'm a proven failure and a laughing stock, I'll point fingers and implicate each of you by name.
 
Here's hoping.  I'm 38.  I can't keep waiting for something to happen.  It's time to MAKE it happen.  Cross your fingers!

1).  I better get a signed copy insinuating that I'm one of your best friends or something equal so I can show it off and say I know you.
2).  If it flops, I'll take you out for drinks and we'll get shit faced til you don't care.

Hee.......I'm so excited for you!!!!!!
