Since I officially announced my latest grandiose scheme, the response I’ve received hasn’t been the one that I expected.

I thought that when I informed the world that I was leaving my steady writing job for the tumultuous world of freelancing and the dream of one day publishing a novel – that I would be laughed out of the room. If not to my face then I at least expected people to wonder if I knew what I was doing, and if I had possibly lost my mind.

Not so. It is true that people are wondering what I am doing, and to my gratitude those that I work with have expressed regrets that I will no longer be working with them, yet not a single one has criticized me in the slightest.

It makes me wonder if dreamers are slightly more prevalent than I previously made them out to be. Perhaps they are not so rare – after all; only those who do not dream will fail to appreciate the dreams of others.

Due to the overwhelming approval I have received with the announcement of my plans, I have come to conclude that there are a great many dreamers in this world. A fact which fills me with hope.

On a slight side note; I would much rather call this change beginning a new job rather than quitting my current one. Quitting implies failure and an inability to continue, beginnings are much more auspicious, so that is precisely what I’m going with.

To clarify matters slightly, since this is the first time I’ve mentioned this anywhere online – as of April 1st, I will be heading straight into a brand new life. One that is filled with uncertainty and the possibility of failure. But more importantly it is filled with dreams, and the chance to achieve everything I have always longed for. The latter, in my opinion, being much more important than the former.
