A few days ago I received an email asking what was happening with my novel in progress. A reply and second email enlightened me to the fact that the person asking was Danielle Silvestri, author of Dancing Hooves.
The idea for this book formed when I was studying in 2003/2004. I’ve been writing it since then and despite having planned to finish the novel in 2009, find I’m still quite a way from that!
Danielle’s emails commented on how being stagnant in writing for a time isn’t a bad thing: it allows you time to mature and come back and improve on something.
Perhaps you have a dream that’s been sitting stagnant for awhile… so much so that you’re not sure it’ll ever come to pass. Dreams are placed on our heart for a reason – it’s dangerous not to hope. Anything that is so big that it seems impossible, great! That means it’s a dream from God that can only be achieved with His help.
Pausing for awhile when ‘life get’s in the way’, doesn’t mean the end of a dream. Keep on dreaming.
“If I had a horse, I’d ride off in the sunset, where dreams, and shadows lie. To a life, where pain and sorrow don’t exist, and to where hopes, and dreams become reality.” – Lindsay Turcotte
