A Goodreads user asked Eileen Troemel:

Is the writer always dreamer? Best regards: A. Tomov – junior

Eileen Troemel Always and never are absolutes... I don't know if EVERY writer is a dreamer. There are certainly a lot of skilled writers out there. I am a dreamer. Society has made me realistic and grounded but given the freedom to just be, I'm a dreamer. I work hard to take my life from a dream (which is a some day type thing) to actual goals. When you do this, it takes a dream and puts concrete steps to attain whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

Some of my earliest memories though were of making up stories to get myself to go to sleep. I'd make up people and situations in my head to tell myself a bed time story I guess so that my mind would calm and sleep. I'm still doing that except I'm writing them down and sharing them with my readers... I hope they enjoy them as much as I do...
