novel 88 - 0. dear mister dream


by nick nelson

part 0 of ?





dear mr dream,

i know you have millions of fans, but believe me, i am your number one fan in the world.

and i am desperate.

maybe you can help me out.

i have no money, no fame, and no respect.

i have creditors - lots of creditors.

i am the most miserable person in the world.

well, you might say, why do i not simply take to the open road, or take to the hills, or “light out for the territory”, and start a new life?

with all due respect, i do not think this is an option in the modern world where everybody needs an i d and a phone which allows then to be tracked every minute of every day, and where everybody is on a million databases.

if i am wrong about this, i would be happy to be told where and how i am wrong.

pending that, my best idea for a solution to my problems is what it has been all my life - to write a number one bestselling novel which will sell tens of millions of copies and be made into a number one grossing movie or series of movies or at the very least a tv miniseries.

i know in my heart that i can do this, but there is one problem.

i can not come up with an idea.

i know that i can write a bestseller if i could just come with an idea.

that is why i am appealing to you.

i know you must have a million ideas, as you are the greatest and most successful writer in the world.

if you could let me have one idea - just one - i will be eternally grateful.

if you do not have time for the sorry likes of me, i understand.

hoping to hear from you,

sincerely,

your greatest fan.
