I always wanted to be a writer.

I always dreamed of being a writer.  Not the typical writer, but one kind of different.

I never wanted to be a novelist, or a series writer.  I wanted to write my own story, a little different.  I wanted to write emotion.  Not about emotion, but actual emotion.

Music is an outlet that hits me right in the hot spot as far as emotion goes, so lyric was always my forte' with regard to writing.  Songs, poems, short stories; these are the canvas on which I paint.  Blogging is nice, because it affords me the ability to turn point blank and change perspective, but it is still not my dream.

What is my dream?  Don't laugh!  My dream has been the same since my youth.  I want to write a Rock Opera.  I have always seen it.  Well, not actually performed on stage, but SSG would certainly play a leading role there!!!  My Rock Opera always appears in my head as a double album.  No CD's, no 8 track, and no cassette, just a double LP.  Four glorious sides of my work.

The two albums will hold a total of 4 acts, each side of an LP is one act.  There will be no break in the individual act, the music and lyric will roll on for the entire side.  It is hard to explain, but I liken it to musicians like The Who, The Beatles, Elton John, The Moody Blues and even The Rolling Stones.  I want what I write to appear as vision, but better then the likes of "Tommy" and his little pinball machine.  I want my work to be felt rather then understood.  I want my work to be born with it's own voice.  Now if only I could sing!!

Crazy?  Yeah, I know it is.  I mean, who buys LP's anymore?  What ever the case, one day, I will write a Rock Opera, and wether good or bad, it will be heard.  Then all six of the people who hear it will be impressed!  Ha!  This sounds so gigantically funny when put down in words for others to read, but isn't that the point?  Isn't that why we are here?  I think so, and I am grateful.  So, no matter how odd or unique, what is your dream?
