It'd be nice sometimes to have everything be easy, but where would the challenge be in that? And there wouldn't be any growing going on.<br /><br />For me, I'll be happy if my stories bring enjoyment to others well enough that I can stay published. ;-)Danyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-47068624061719403062009-05-11T13:49:00.000-04:002009-05-11T13:49:00.000-04:00Lady Glamis: Ha!

Everyone will want an autograph!<br /><br />Wendy: Yes, my fantasies always involve travel. I like the idea of the personal hairstylist--I'm snaggin' that one and adding it to my list! <br /><br />Tess: Every time I go to a bookstore, I find the romance section and locate exactly where my book would reside. I'm not sure if it's entertainment, torture, or obsession, but it's fun. <br /><br />Cindy: I am going to frame fan mail. Maybe even scrapbook it, even though I don't scrapbook? Hmmm....<br /><br />Davin: I'll call Charlie and have him set up an interview (wink, wink!). And yes, readers must come up to you in tears because your book is so good. I'm just praying they don't come up to me crying because my book is so bad.

I've been on the RWA website for five (yes 5!) hours trying desperately to log in and get an editor appointment for this year's National Conference. <br /><br />I'm this close to tears... But not now that I read all of your comments!<br /><br />Katie: Money's good! I'd like to be rewarded with income, although I'm not unrealistic about the amount. And I agree, staying home with your kids while doing what you love is a wonderful fantasy--one that hopefully will come true sooner than you expect. (P.S. I'm used to rejections!)<br /><br />Jody: Oh, yes! Lots of uninterrupted time--it will come! I can't wait to see your books on shelves.<br /><br />Terri: I'd like to make a difference too. Even if it's making someone laugh.<br /><br />Eileen: Yes, I know how to blow things way out of proportion. I may even be an expert! Glad I'm not alone...<br /><br />Melissa: I'll probably be crushed when I get bad reviews. Mental note to self: stock up on chocolates before book comes out.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-35259303409386470612009-05-11T13:10:00.000-04:002009-05-11T13:10:00.000-04:00I love this post!

My husband says he'd love to be a stay-at-home dad. For us, that's the dream.<br /><br />My other thing is silly but I am still going to wait for it. Fan mail. Yep. Fan mail. I write with the hope of reaching people and I would love to hear back from people who really got something out of my book.Cindy R.

It's a great idea to think about what we'd like things to be like and then compare them to the other fantasy of what they'll most likely be like. Hopefully we all reach a great middle ground!Michelle D.

I d...Thanks for this, Jill. I found it inspiring. <br /><br />I don't know if I really have a publishing dream. What I really hope is to be so enthralled with my next wip that it keeps me humble and balanced. I think we can so often get caught up in the moment and blow it waaay out of proportion. So not where I want to be.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-24978711690364622372009-05-11T08:42:00.000-04:002009-05-11T08:42:00.000-04:00My fantasy is that my book will be read by someone...My fantasy is that my book will be read by someone who says, "I needed to read that!"

But then I'd probably waste the time anyway by day dreaming! Having to write in smaller segments makes me have to focus and stay on task, or else I'd never get anything written! And of course I fantasize about writing a book that will stand out from the rest of the millions! But in reality, mine will sit on the shelves no longer than everyone else's!<br /><br />Have a great week!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-91437933941849224232009-05-11T07:46:00.000-04:002009-05-11T07:46:00.000-04:00Great fantasy!

Right now - just getting published is fantasy that I dwell on quite often... one I hope becomes a reality. <br /><br />Why do I want to get published so badly? Not for the glory. Definitely not that. I just want to make some money from this - so I can stay home and do more of it!! Right now I have to work - and I hate being away from Brogan and feeling so crunched for time.<br /><br />In my fantasy, I'd make enough off my writing to stay home and write, hire a part time baby sitter, raise my children cook and clean for my husband! That sounds blissful.<br /><br />But reality is good too. I just realized my post sounds like I'm whining!<br /><br />I'm sorry about your rejection! But it is truly a rite of passage - one more step in this crazy journey!Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.com
