That flying pig (aka Pigasus) represents me, and not because of the state of my house or the pudge about my middle.

Perhaps it’s you, too.

People make the declaration “when pigs fly” in response to things they deem far-fetched. But are they REALLY impossible?

Space travel, handheld computers, meatless bacon. All of these were impossible, once upon a time. That last one, probably, still should be.

What’s the one thing you long to accomplish in your life, but you believe is impossible? For me, it’s writing and publishing a YA Fantasy novel. I’ve held back because I’m pretty average, like the lowly pig.

Being common is a good start, though. Just about every Young Adult novel begins with a seemingly ordinary character, taking on an extraordinary task. Like them, I’m ready to do the impossible. Try my wings. Write that book. 

Are you with me, friend? Doing impossible things is difficult, all alone. Ask Frodo and Sam or Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They’d all tell you. Even in fiction, no one accomplishes the impossible, without a team.

I’d love to keep you updated on the status of my book, and on what I learn along the way. Hopefully, this will encourage you on your own journey. It’s time for us Pigasi to fly. You can DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
