Into The Future!

Take note that the next IWSG post falls on Jan 8th
Before we get on with the show, is there something you want to know? Did you win? The latest IWSG Anthology contest winners are announced today. Click here to see if you won.
In the future we are all rich and retired, right? Wouldn't that be grand? Or would the better question be something like...wouldn't that be million? Yeah, really doesn't have the same ring. Although ring or not, I'd be fine with it. I think I'll have to settle for writing another million words though, if I don't croak first. What? It's the future. I could get hit by a bus. In which case it was probably my own stupid fault for not looking both ways. Don't want a car car or a bus bus to hit me. Uncle Pattie has been hanging out with poop machines too much. I better get on with it before someone finds out I'm the one that told them to say wanker. What? Don't judge.

Let's play a game. Imagine. Role-play. How would you describe your future writer self, your life and what it looks and feels like if you were living the dream?  Or if you are already there, what does it look and feel like? Tell the rest of us. What would you change or improve?

Geez, with all those questions you'd think this would be hard to answer. Or maybe it would make me mouthy. Heck, two words can do that. Okay, I won't embellish. One word can do that. The answer is as easy as can be. In a perfect world...like that is ever going to happen...I'd have enough time to write out the thousands of ideas in my head and it would be my sole job. But again, wouldn't hold my breath on that. Although that might be a better way to go than getting hit by a bus. One has the same odds as winning one of our lotteries up here as getting a book that sells a ton. Lot less work to just flush 5 bucks down the toilet with the lottery. Where's the fun in that though?

Pffft to any of it though as I just keep on keeping on. Don't stress out about the future or getting the ideas out of my head because I'll never ever get all the ideas out of my head even if I lived to be 100 and wrote every minute or every day. So just enjoy the ride, write when I can, edit when I can, and keep on a going. As you have to enjoy life outside of the writing world too. So enjoy, write away, don't stress, and keep on a going. Simple as that. Although if anyone wants to throw a million my way, we wouldn't say no.

Enjoy life, forget the strife.
