Some days, a little spark of hope is enough

I did something last night. Something hopeful. Something impulsive. Something unusual, at least for me.

I bought a domain name. And I own it for the next five years.

It's the name of my pseudonym. The name that I decided to use if I ever write a novel. If I ever submit a novel. If I ever publish a novel.

I don't know if I'll successfully finish writing a novel. Much less submit it or get it published. But I do know, that by buying the domain name of my carefully chosen pseudonym, I bought a little bit of hope. I bought a little bit of a dream.

And some days, hopes and dreams are more than enough.
