Well, it's been a very busy couple of weeks, and by the time I got to Sunday night (which of course was also Halloween AND my wedding anniversary), I couldn't face an all-night NaNoWriMo kick-off. In fact, I hadn't the foggiest idea what I would write about anyway, and decided a good night's sleep would be best all round.
And then the magic happened. I had one those dreams. You know, the kind with a plot that almost makes sense, and unexpected characters, and life-and-death on the line, and vivid sensations and emotions. The kind you can't stop thinking about because you've tapped a vein that runs to depths you forgot you had.
And voila! Like a gift from heaven, I have something to write about. Here's hoping I still love it in 28 days.
How's it coming with everyone else?
Oh by the way, if you are in the U.S., please go VOTE!!!!!!
That's so utterly brilliant! I never have dreams that make enough sense to write a story about.
ReplyDeleteThey're either too boring: standing and looking soulfully at the ocean; or too barmy: riding an emu up the side of a building and across the telegraph wires. And nothing ever emerges that could be a plot.
Good luck with the nanoing! (I'm over there as fairyhedgehog.)
OMG that's so funny! I'm totally picturing a hedgehog riding an emu across a city!
