Dreamer.  Lover.  Wannabe writer.

It's pretty simple, really.  There's a story I want to read that I was hoping someone would write, but no one ever has.  It's an epic fantasy, for an adult audience, but full of childish things like wizards and magic and elves and dragons.  There are, of course, stories out there that are absolutely wonderful and well-written, but no one has told the story exactly the way I want it to be told.  I was resigned to just keep waiting, till maybe never, but then the Twilight series exploded onto the scene, and then Fifty Shades creeped into every crack and orifice of so many reasonable people... and I just couldn't take it anymore.  I decided to start writing.  No prior experience.  No doctorate in creative writing.  Just a sudden ineffable, intractable itch to write. 

The story I most want to tell is my epic fantasy, The True Source of Magic (TSoM).  That's my main goal right now - to write that story.  That's why I started Geildreams. 
​
I must admit: I started off naive and a little full of myself.  I didn't realize how big the world of writing was.  There are so many great authours, great voices, great stories out there, waiting to be read, heard, enjoyed.  I just started finding out how many thousands upon thousands of writers there are out there on the world wide web.  Who the hell am I!  Just a droplet in an ocean.  

I had set out with the goal to test out my writing, and if I didn't get a good solid reader base within a month, then I was going to quit right away.  I guess I half-expected support and readership to just pour in.  I haven't had a single message of support from a reader, let alone monetary support.  I have been humbled greatly.  But I have not yet been defeated.  I have found a more satisfactory purpose...  I'm just going to write.  Forget readership and support; I have to keep writing.  I just can't kill the story...  TSoM is a living, breathing entity now.  If I don't tell it, no one else will.  I hope, one day, Geildreams will be the home of many such living, breathing stories. 

But, of course, with your support, I can spend more time telling stories instead of keeping the stories bottled in my head while I'm spending all my time at a "real job".
