So I promised myself I’d post something once a day here and I drop the ball on day two because I had some Political Obligations to meet.

I don’t mind doing these things- being involved in Politics prepared me for the world of writing in one very unexpected way-

In politics if you say you’re going to do something people may call you a flake or a nut or they’ll  pray  ( like the old saying goes there are no atheists in the foxholes ) like crazy you will drop dead but for the most part you get taken seriously- in other words they have no doubt if you say you’re going to go for a goal you’re going to do exactly that.

So when I decided to start writing it didn’t occur to me to say to myself…’gee what if I’m not good enough?’ or ‘what if no one cares’ or ‘ who do I need to get approval from? ‘

In my Universe if you announce  you have a plan some people  will  make it their mission in life to ‘take you down’ some will even support you.

Some will just send you nasty e-mails or send their friends after you…but I digress-

I don’t  hear this much if ever at all ” oh gee that’s a sweet dream Anita but lots of people try to do that…and the chances that you’ll pull it off are next to nothing.”

Politics taught me there are no sweet dreams- just hard reality and that there really are monsters, there really are good people and if you don’t have a sense of humor you’ll lose your sense of hope.

So here’s to hope.
