A book deal, A DV member and bliss
I had submitted a book to a local review and writer's guild. Although my reviews were 4th place they were consistent with each judge. (This book in the dream was the same book I have been writing in real life but unlike the "real" one that is only 4 chapters :P , this one was finished)
Because this was my first attempt to get reviews like this everyone was very pleased. This dream seemed to last for hours.
I had offers to get the book published and through some advice I chose one.
The advice given was from pj. The pj we know here in DV. - Thanks pj! ;) lol at the outcome though.
What would seem to have been a tragedy at first turned out to set up the best part of the dream. Because I wanted the rough edge look of paper on in the book they resorted to using a special kind of paper. What turned out was that the ink ran even in dampness. We were all (wife, friends and family) at a loss for words. Words that melted with moisture. Through much soul searching My wife and I decided to sue. The act of suing seemed disgusting. But the publisher's negligence may have cost me my one and only chance.
We decided to settle for a modest amount provided that they just reprint the book. Between that and the modest amount I made on the book gave Brooke and I enough to settle in a modest cabin somewhere in the middle of heaven. The cabin was not all that impressive but the land it was placed on was so far from diffident. The colors, smell, wildlife serenity and peace were all something hard to put into words. Beautiful in a dream but pensive this morning.
