"What if..." is a conversation I've had with a lot of people.  It also tends to be the themes of my books... what if you could travel back in time? What if an immortal still walked the earth?  What if you could change your life by changing your dreams...?

What if...

I sometimes wonder why I ask this question so much in my writing, and then I realize I ask it in my life as well.  What if I take this job?  What if I pursue this relationship?  What if I move to this place...?

Is that a healthy way to live?  I'm not sure.  It can be unsettling.  I think many people find comfort in finding one place, and then they stop asking "what if..."  I tried that once, and found myself asking "what if..." despite my choice.  But after the dust settled, the what if's lead me to new places, new people, and new worlds in my words. 

In the end, we just want to make sure we never look back and ask "what if?"  If we choose a place, be happy with it.  If we find ourselves asking what if, move forward and look for the answers before it's too late.  And if we know we're never going to stop asking what if... well, that may just be our lot in life.  But it can also be the key to unlock the door of our creative soul...of my creative soul.

How many more "what if's" are out there to discover?

I hope that I never run out of what if's to discover... unless of course I discover them all...

What's your "what if"...?
