Gloomsday

To become a writer is a glorious dream. 

To be able to have your words - your very thoughts as they found voice in your mind- immortalised forever and ever, for generations to read and mull over; to influence thought and possibly action in an infinite number of ways; and most importantly, to leave that seemingly ordinary bit of reflection that emerged from your mind as testimony to your life, and the time and place that you occupied in this world.

To become a writer, it seems to me to be, is a blindingly bright but frightening dream.
