Dare To Dream

As writers, we have always dreamed of becoming the next Stephen King or Mary Higgins Clark. So, here is your chance. Tell us what your life is like now and how “making it big” will change it. What would you do or buy with all that money? What do your friends and family think of your writing career now and what would they think of it when your dream comes true? Will your life change drastically or just slightly?  Hmmm, definitely something to think about. Be honest, this is not the Miss America Pageant. No “I will use the money to achieve world peace” stories, unless that is the objective of your writing career.

Now, Dare To Dream in 500 words or less.
