[Diary] Dreaming #ShirokumaLiteratureClub
I dream often. To put it accurately, perhaps it is that I often remember my dreams when I wake up. So, with a groggy head upon waking, I think a little about why I had such a dream.
Last night, I dreamed of my mother, who passed away a year and a half ago. She looked just as she did when she was alive, and I interacted with her just as I used to. I convinced myself that I dreamed of my mother because the relationship between a mother and son is strong in "The Village Where the Manatee Was," which I am writing every day now.
The night before that, I think I dreamed that I was participating in a marathon. I haven't been able to run since I had heart trouble five years ago. There is a part of me that wants to run again someday and enjoy the race, and a part of me that thinks I should graduate from running. I figured I had the dream about running because I had walked a lot the day before yesterday and my legs were tired.
I feel like the things I see in my dreams are just the past that I'm dragging along. Once I wake up, I shift my mindset.
Dreams aren't things you just see; they are things you make come true!
I don't dream of winning awards or getting commercially published, and I don't really have any intention of making those come true. However,
I want to make the dream of "wanting to live by writing" and "wanting to keep writing until I die" come true.
Even if not many people read my work now, I will keep writing for that one person who will read it someday.
(The End)
I am participating in this project.
I felt mortified that I couldn't participate last week. Right now, my resources are being heavily taken up by this story.
The story is in its final stages, and only the "scenes I wanted to write" remain. The current reality is that it takes several months to create one novella. Therefore, I believe that "aiming for awards or public submissions" or being a "commercial writer" is impossible for me.
"Writing what I like, when I like, how I like"
"Taro Fukushima is for one person"
I will do my best to complete the manatee story while sticking to these principles.
