Those of us juggling several jobs (parent+writer+ ...) may recognise more than one dream come true there. Anyone still feeling remotely blue should take a stroll over to Running After My Hat (see the sidebar) - if Clarence hasn't done it for you, John's beautiful poem Starfish should. Dream On.

If you've been able to make a living from your writing, have your dreams come true? Why not take some time with your journal and think of everything you dreamed you'd be, who you are, who you hope you can still become.
