Daydream Believer Still Has Her Head in the Clouds #MFRWAuthor




Late to another Party!

You can still follow along on the Hop, though, as I've included everyone else's contributions at the end of this post.

It's Week 16 of the 52-Week BlogHop Challenge and this time, I'm supposed to tell you about My Biggest Dream in Life, but like a few of the other contributors, I've got more than just one.

I'll start with the trivial things:

Eternal Youth
Vanity by Hans Memling
Lots and Lots of Money




and Being Able to Travel the World




Then tone it down a bit with the semi-realistic:


Becoming a Successful Writer




and Landing on A Best-Seller List





Which would bring my dreams full circle as I'd then be able to travel the world with my loads of money AND get the cosmetic surgery out of the way!





In all seriousness, though... my lifes' dream has changed so many times it is hard to say exactly what it is I really want out of what is left of the rest of my life.

To be happy?

Nah, cause I know from vast experience that it isn't possible 24/7

To be healthy?

That's entirely up to me, but even then, it's a crap shoot in life.

To be rich?

Yes, I have to say that one is still up there with a few of the big ones.

WORKING toward that goal was never (and still isn't) as big on the list, though 😏

At my age, I've given up trying to outrun Paul, and Peter dumped me years ago, so living paycheck to paycheck is just a part of the game now.

To be successful?

Well, yes and no.

Ages ago, it never occurred to me how much time, effort (smells too much like work to me) go into becoming successful, but what's worse (for me) is the recognition involved.

Having to attend crowded conferences, talk in front of large crowds, and have total strangers accost you in public...

No.

To have something like a legacy would be incredible, though, wouldn't it?

Oh, to be up there with the likes of Jane Austen or Wm Shakespeare, eh?

Such lofty perches are (and always have been) far from this gal's feeble grasp, so I continue to grasp at straws instead: handouts of whatever types of bones I toss at myself when the mood strikes.

So, to honest and truly answer this week's question:

My Biggest Dream in Life

To Have A LOT of Readers who enjoy my writing, favor my work, and show their approval via Social Media outlets.

I do the hard work of writing and publishing, and they do the easy work of helping me to get recognized for my talent.


My Biggest Dream: To be Liked for My Novels


Yes, Sir, I think I like it!

The Thought Bubble Never Pops #MFRWauthor

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my

Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop. I know it sounds ridiculous to say I Love to Travel because, let's be honest, who doesn't? A more accurate or realistic remark might sound more like this: Who Can AFFORD to Travel? Right? Not me! But, dreams are free and here is mine. #5 Crete Home to the Ideon Cave, which was the birthplace of Zeus. But also for the food, the atmosphere, and especially the photo ops standing near all of the white buildings with blue awnings/rooftops/shutters... and with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. I learned in one of my Linguistics classes that there is an island off the coast of Greece where the language is so obscure that even Greeks have trouble understanding it. Fascinating stuff, s

Ideally, He's What I Want - #MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge

However illusory the ideal may be, it is the one that, more than any other, drives the psyche of the Romantic poet forward. Wordsworth's Ideal Man Welcome back, friends, to Week 19 of the MFRW Author 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week, we're asked to describe The Ideal Romance Hero . I write AND read romance, but that doesn't mean I feel confident or sure about my response, and I needed to give this one some serious thought prior to setting fingers to keyboard. Alpha or Otherwise, Dark or Fair, Young or Old, Rich or Not, a Hero in any Romance novel needs to be a few things, and for me that mainly consists of MY idea of the Perfect Man. But, not entirely. Alpha's can be thrilling in a novel but downright boorish in real life. Next! I've always tended toward dark-haired men but have been known to freak out when spotting someone with blond hair, so... Sad though this might sound (and be in reality), I'd rather my man made good money than none
