Some Say it's All About the Money...
It's important to remember who you are
without the need for money. We are more than paper currency and it's crucial to
realize without that we are souls, hearts and pumping blood.
I often ask friends what they would love to
do if all jobs/ careers paid the same. Some don't know what to say, often their
minds are confused by the opportunity presented as it's always been so much
about the money.
But opportunity speaks volumes too and we
all create our own opportunities. People often wonder why all the drama happens
in their life and it's no wonder – they dwell on it and what you focus on seems
appreciated and keeps happening.
Instead let's focus on the essence of life
and all we have to offer without concern for a paycheck. Feel the blood, life
and soul flowing through us and celebrate all the good in the world.
Except
for when it comes to Fantasy and Fiction
When you're a writer the possibilities are
endless and as long as reader's can believe it or simply enjoy it, you've
succeeded.
Most authors will say it's not about the
money, it's about finding readers but they are always thinking of the sales.
It's what our world has become accustomed to so a reprieve when reading a story
focused more on life and essence of being is often welcomed.
My award winning short story, Blood Day,
starts with the line:
I've always
been told we all bleed red, take breaths, and die if poisoned so I often
wondered why I wasn't dead yet.
The reader is then welcomed into the
strange life of Veronica as she tries to discover who she is while not being
the cliché of a coming of age story, this is more coming of human story.
What
would you do without the need for money?
If you were told the most important thing
was to cherish every tear drop, memory and celebrate drops of seeped blood, how
would you spend your days? In happiness, I suspect.
Thanks for reading,
Sarah Butland
