Me on my way to write for characters that show up for two minutes and have no story

The only reason someone would say to you that your dreams is a pipe dream, is because it isn't their dreams.  They are your dreams, and that you believe in your dreams.  That is the only thing that matters. 

I remember when I was a teenager, and I was telling my Mother that I wanted to be a writer.  She told me that it was just a pipe dream.  Through the years, I continued to write short stories and poems for fun, and continued to let my Mother know (when she was alive) that I still had an interest in following my dreams.  I did let her know that I understood that, when I complete my first novel, that it may be turned down 'X' amount of times before someone said 'Yes' in wanting to publish it.  That doesn't mean I have to stop.  There are a lot of Authors had that happen to them, too, but they continued to pursue their dreams. 

I shall continue to pursue my own dream of being a writer, because it is meant to be.
