I can't say that winning the Pen/Faulkner was a dream come true because I would never have dared to dream it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dream was, and always had been, to write a book. To be a writer.
I didn't have a dream of being a press secretary, I had a dream of being a playwright; I had a dream of being a novelist and a poet.
My dream was to be known as a writer and to be able to produce at least one book that would be read by people. That dream came true with the publication of my first novel - and all the rest has been a sweet bonus.
I actually had a dream that one of my friends became president, and I was trying to help out with the campaign. It was pretty good.
I never even dreamt of being a writer because I didn't feel allowed. When I was a child I was terribly ambitious, but I didn't know at all what this great thing would become.
I had this dream that I was going to come to New York and be a writer.
My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.
I was a great dreamer of day dreams.
Dreamers become writers, and for me, being a published writer is a dream come true.
I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.
