One of those quotes you see all over the internet, but there's really a lot of truth to it. Recently, I went to see a show for the first time since the pandemic. What a joy to be back in an amphitheater! I cannot put into words how wonderful it is that it is now reasonably safe enough for the return of live performing arts. Aptly, the show was Man of La Mancha. When the actor portraying Don Quixote finished The Impossible Dream, well, let's just say, if there was a dry eye in the house, it wasn't one of mine.
Been spending some time tonight working on identifying and strengthening the themes of my novel and realized I've been working on it for over 10 years. Realistically, it might be another 10 before it's done. It might never happen. Should I give up? Not according to Don Q.
If there ever was a play with a good them, Man of La Mancha is it.
Keep fighting those unbeatable foes. Keep righting those unrightable wrongs. Keep reaching for those unreachable stars. And most important of all, keep dreaming those impossible dreams.
And keep supporting live theater and the arts. Those people haven't worked in a long time. They need you!
I absolutely love Man of La Mancha. One of my favorites. It's such an inspiring play and the Impossible Dream is one of those amazing songs that just soars in your heart. I'm so glad you got to see it and be out there at live theater. Let it inspire you to keep going on your book!
