About

My name is Marcia Peschke 

I am a writer, artist, teacher and waterbaby

I have now read three titles by writer Paulo Coelho and each time I have felt as delicate, emotional and curious as the shepherd boy, Hilal and Veronika.  As a child and teenager I mapped out my interests by dreaming of dreams and collecting newspaper articles about delicious recipes and  destinations, films, art and novelties.  My young soul always knew it wanted to experience the world beyond the thoughts I'd built up in my mind.  Many of these thoughts have materialize into a few art pieces, poems and playscripts but I haven't yet jumped out of the paper dreams I collect to admit to a happy madness and leave the archives of things not yet lived.  

Dreams cannot be collected and stored away.  So this blog, Driftwood Dreamer, is a courageous step toward the path of happy madness, an acknowledgement to all my interests and a place in which I can share all that inspires me.  

I grew up on the beach, listened to the waves as I slept and collected shells and sticks that traveled through many courses before washing ashore.  I am a dreamer, a water soul and I am a piece of driftwood, part of a larger tree, experiencing many courses before washing ashore.  On this path I will explore creative writing, my experiences and encounters with the world and it's people, and current topics of interest.  I hope you will enjoy this journey with me and extend yourself beyond dreaming dreams.
