I had a really strange dream.
Some of my friends dream their stories – at least a couple
have solved plot problems, for instance.
More than once, someone has come up with an idea for a story in their
dreams.
Not me. I had a dream
for a Science Fiction Romance series. Sort
of like Firefly, the TV series with Nathan Fillion. Le sigh.
I have no idea if I'm going to even write notes on this
idea. It was disjointed, there were
three or four couples and each book in the series was the Romance of their
story. And I usually don't write Science
Fiction. Nothing against SF, but I deal
with science in my day job, so writing is for a different sort of dream.
I think it means that I need to write, just write something
new. I've been involved in editing,
reordering and analyzing my wip to get it ready to submit. Using the left side of my brain for the most
part. Paying attention to the internal
editor and ignoring my muse.
Well, the muse isn't terribly happy about it. And she's decided to tell me stories in her
sleep.
I still have some analysis to do – a crit that I
promised. But when it's done, I need to
sit down and just write.
Have you dreamed story?
