Shape Your Dreams
Week two brings with it the first realizations that what you are doing is hard. It also brings with it the realization that you can do this. There are moments when everything feels right and the words dump right out onto the page. Then there are days that you can hardly muster more than a few paragraphs. This is where the road starts to get… →
When I think of achieving dreams I can’t help but think of achieving my own, becoming a world class archer… Wait. No that’s next year’s stuff. Writing! That’s what I do! The dreamer is always focused on their dreams and I am no different. Most of my knowledge about pursuing dreams comes from my experiences trying to write Fantasy and Science Fiction novels. I yearn… →
We all dream, yet at the same time we wish it could be easy. Every one of us wishes that our dreams would come about as easily as breathing. We watch the Olympians compete for their medals and a small part of us all think that we could do that. Sometimes it’s the opposite reaction, we see the finished masterpiece and think that we could… →

We are going to try and tackle the most fundamental question here at the DreamAnvil, what exactly is a dream? Whooboy. We are in for a ride. So, what exactly is a dream? Well that’s a great question! If you want to start a lively discussion… →
Sometimes life is not very fair. We work really hard on our dreams, we pour our time, our energy and our passion into something and we expect an equal result. Like pushing on a swing, the harder we push the higher the swing goes. This is not the case for dreams. Sometimes they don’t pan out. Victory is never a guarantee in life. If someone… →
So there I was horrified. All of my coworkers were just staring at me. My boss decided that I needed to give a presentation to the group. The problem? I was finding out about it at the same time as the rest of my coworkers. I pulled up a half finished slide deck about a related topic and set to trying to sound half way… →
I got back from my run drenched. It was raining out and the chill soaked through to my bones. I quickly jumped into a warm shower and then curled up on the couch with a hot cup of tea afterwards.
