I'd call it:  Weird Ideas

My daughter says I'm full of weird ideas.  Some turn into things, like the stories I write or the art I create or the quirky need I have to refinish every piece of furniture we own.  Others I never find the time to act on, like how I've always wanted to learn to make a movie or take a trip up the Amazon.

One thing I do know about myself is that without my weird ideas, I'm not me.  Something in me needs to be creative ... it needs to write and draw and have a house that's never-quite-finished.

I was a fanciful kid, always dreaming I could fly away on clouds or see microscopic creatures in the air.  Sometimes at night I'd sneak out of bed and hide behind the dining room curtains, just so I could stare into the night view and make believe it was something more than it was.  As an adult, that's what I like about the future.  Maybe I can see about how it will go, but in truth it's blank--unwritten.  I can dream the future will be something more than it might actually be. 

Thinking on it now, I realize I kinda got there on the movie thing.  But more on that later.  And now that I mention it, I guess you could say that because I'm in the process of self-pubbing, I'm about to take a trip on Amazon ....
