Dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true
By Dora IGK Slavonski Brod, Croatia

            What can I say about my dream? I have one dream I didn’t notice until now, and that is that I want to be a WRITER! How silly that is, I am writing and have no idea that’s what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe that’s because it’s like a reflex to me.
I love to read since I know about myself, and I love to write ever since… I love to read, I’d say. It’s just impossible for me to read a book and then not to get inspired for writing. Everything in the real world is an inspiration to me.
What I really love about writing is that you can create your own imaginary world and live in it. I always do that. I create characters, their characteristics and their home. Then, I start with their lives. How they live? What they do? And when I mix my fingers and the keyboard, oh, poor them will face even the devil if I want them to.
Most of all, I love magic. I love science fiction. Every one of my stories has some kind of magic in it. It can be with magic wands, or just in every human in the world. I don’t care! Magic is all I want and all I give! If you want magic, you’ve found the right future writer.
But, unfortunately, in every story there are problems, and I have two.
First problem is the fact that I give up too easily. I just have so many ideas that I can’t put them all in one story. I think I have only… three finished stories? I have to count them. As I’ve said, everything is an inspiration to me, and I want to write about everything! It’s just so hard.
The second problem is that it’s very hard to live like a writer. You have to be popular and know what the readers want. So, being just a writer is not a good idea. You can be the best writer in the whole world, but if you don’t publish yourself properly and write something that is popular and will be heard of, you got nothing. Actually, you got bread; because that’s the only food you’ll live on until you success.
And I know all of that, and that’s why I have to work really hard if I want to become something; especially a writer. But I practice every day since I know how to use computer and Microsoft Word.
So, what’s the conclusion of this essay? Dream about it and everything will be served to you? Not so much. I can dream all I want, but that won’t get me anywhere. Dream should be a start for something. Dream about it and want it; then work for it and earn it; and at the end, just look at what you made and smile. You’ll know when you arrived at the right station.
