Reflections: Childhood Dreams

Reflections: Childhood Dreams

When I first saw this title on Helium (a site for writers to post articles on specific titles), I had flashes of nighttime dreams from my childhood. Reading some of the articles under this title, it was apparent most others took it to mean career and other future-directed dreams. Well, the fun thing about writing for Helium is that you can take an article any direction you choose, so that's what I did.

My rating for Childhood Dreams settled in quite soon at 7 out of 10 (all articles start at one above the middle of the pack, which would have been 6 of 10). Today, as I browsed through my 170+ articles, there it was -- a dream come true! Reflections: Childhood Dreams is now rated 1 of 10. It may not stay there, but for the moment, it feels really good to know that someone (or some someones) liked the way I wrote and, hopefully, what I wrote.

Going back to read articles months after they've been written is always a surprise. There's the occasional: "Did I write that?" And, "Wow, I said that?" I like being surprised, especially by and about myself. Click here if you'd like to read the article. If you decide to read it, I'd like to hear your reaction -- to the writing style and to the content.
