Keeping the dream alive?

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth holding on to that dream project. Been writing and rewriting for years, fantasizing about red carpets and interviews. But here I am, stuck in the 'what if' phase. Anyone else have a passion project that's just collecting virtual dust?

Man, this is relatable. I've got so many 'half-started' stories, it's embarrassing. Just when I think I'm about to get serious, life throws another distraction. But, we gotta keep pushing, right? ...right after I finish binge-watching this new show.

I released a indie short that took me years to make, write and rewrite, while juggling day jobs. Almost gave up a bunch of times but then it actually got some attention at a small festival! Miracles happen when you persist. Use that 'what if' as fuel.

lmao might as well accept the fact its never gonna happen 😂 just put it on Wattpad or something so at least 3 people can tell you it's 'amazing' before you completely forget about it.

This hits close to home. Been through the cycle of writing, editing, and second-guessing myself more times than I care to admit. But I'll tell you what I tell myself: the stories we hold onto the longest often mean the most. If it's important to you, it's worth the effort. Keep pushing!

Hey, don't give up! Every big name out there was once where you are now. Keep refining, keep dreaming. Spielberg didn't just wake up one day with a camera in his hand and a red carpet under his feet. Hard work and perseverance get you there, and it sounds like you've got plenty of both.

Honestly, at this point, I think some dreams are better off in your head. Saves you the disappointment of reality. Got a drawer full of 'dream projects' that'll never see the light of day.

You're definitely not alone. I've got a script that I started in college and it's just been sitting there. I tweak it sometimes, hoping that'll make a difference. But hey, it's all about the long game, right? One day we'll get there!
