A Place I Often Visit

A place I often visit… I visit an idea, a fantasy where my livelihood is a pen and paper. I see myself atop an empire of my own literature, both big and small. Poems, Shorts, Feature lengths, and Novels piled beneath me. I see a crowd of people digesting my stories, and still hungry for more. I see myself leading a business of literature and film where the stories leap off the page and enter reality. A company where dreams come true for those who want to be stars, directors, or filmmakers. A company where the writer is no longer the bottom of the totem pole, but instead the bright and shiny topper.  I see a mass of consumers flooding theatres all around the world, paying visits to those new creations. I see the audience embarking an emotional journey from the minute the film starts until the end credits roll. I see those reactions as fulfillment, but still wanting and yearning for more. I see the construction of a massive park used to as a setting to build stories and create films, but also for public enjoyment. I see hordes of families, couples, and groups of friends pouring through the park gates ready to experience the entertainment first-hand. I see the fulfillment of dreams and happiness. This is the place I often visit.
