I Can Dream Right?

I like to think of myself as creative and clever but the truth is I am really neither of these things. When something is on my mind, I don't paint a masterpiece or compose the next great hit. No, what do I do, I talk about it, or in this case write it down. And let's face it, I am not very good at writing.

Thank god for blogs though, it's strange, I was never a big diary person. There is something about writing down how you feel and posting it on the Internet for millions to see. You can be anonymous but at the same time you are writing for a purpose. You are hoping that while googling something your blog will pop up and someone will be intrigued enough to read it. Maybe they will even like it and post it to their twitter or facebook account, giving it more publicity and maybe, just maybe it will circulate around the web so much that some producer will find it and ask you to write their next original screenplay. Just dreams though really, but then again it could happen right?

But of course you need to be a brilliant blog writer, just like you need to be brilliant to compose a music or creative to create a masterpiece that expresses your feelings. I am not brilliant enough at anything, I am good. I am good at taking photographs, good at playing tennis but never brilliant. I never seem to stand out when it matters, and in today's world you need to stand out.

For once I wish I wasn't so ordinary.
