I HATE TRICKS

Last night I had the most amazing dream. I dreamt that I had gotten a phone call from a literary agent, but, I was out running errands. My brother gave me the message and of course she asked me to return her call. In my dream everything happened so fast and was just like I had imagined everything happening. After all, who wouldn't love a dream where a literary agent loves everything you wrote?

The awful part is that I immediately ran to my inbox this morning, hoping that my dream was a premonition of sorts and then, not even a rejection letter. My inbox only had the usual spam. As if the whole querying process is not tough enough, my own mind is taunting me. I must admit, I am not feeling that confident this morning.

    Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I dreamed I got the call from my dream agent. Unfortunately in real life, her assistant rejected me noting she'd love to take the time to do it herself but was much to busy.

    I hate it when dreams are so real you think they've actually happened. Sometimes I wake up so angry with Hubby, and no idea why lol

    Keep hold of that dream, though. Think positive and good things will happen!

    When I was a teen, I dreamed my sister called from the bus station asking for a ride home. She actually did call and was stranded there waiting for a ride while I slept.

    Hang in there and keep writing. :)

    Hang in there! Dreams do come true and all that jazz! It sounds cliche but I believe it.

    I was filled with angst yesterday, too. Was it the topic? Was it the full moon? I don't know. I worked to remedy the self-doubt by playing piano, talking to my friend and publicist, and going to my workout class. It all helped, as did reading other posts by insecure writers.

    Hang in there. "The call" will happen. :) Probably when you least expect it.

What is the point?

Today I was plagued with the idea, why? And why?  Everywhere these days there's a silent rule imposed by some invisible person or person...
