Hello all! I am sorry for such the long wait between posts! As you know from a previous post, we went to Disney World. The trip was an amazing experience, one that allowed my inner child to run free and one I'll not soon forget. Then we got home and fall struck with all it's cold temperatures and what follows.
I got sick. Now I'll admit it: I am the biggest baby when I get sick. I hate being sick. Every moment of it is a moment when I feel like jumping out of my own skin and finally being rid of the cage that is my aching and sore body. And all this I dealt with for a week.
This is how I know that I chose well when I picked a husband. He was an invaluable asset, picking up ginger ale, making repeated trips to the store for Mucinex, and serving me whatever my picky and nauseated stomach could handle. He held me in bewilderment, knowing that all he wanted to do was make my suffering stop but being unable to. And all the while, he had to deal with me. Le Miserable.
So. If you ever want to argue that your hubby is better than mine, see above.
And now I return! Healthy, happy, and more well read. (There was nothing to do but read while I was sick.) How have you all been? I am happy to see the page views I missed and hope that you all haven't given up on me!
November rolls closer each day and so does the first day of Writer's Round Table. I am so excited that I dream of scenarios. Speaking of dreams, some of my best writing ideas come from dreams.
A book that I recently finished writing actually originated with a very detailed dream I had two years ago. I started just by writing it down in an enticing description and it took off from there.
Have any of you ever had such a dream? I find that most people I ask, especially adults, say that they can't remember their dreams most nights. I wonder if there is something to that. I hope I always remember mine, even though I have pretty detailed and scary nightmares too. It's a double edged sword, I suppose.
SO! In the comments below, I CHALLENGE THEE! Write out the most favorite dream you have ever had! If it inspired you to write a story or something, let me know!
As I have said before, ignore my challenge at your own risk. I know where all of you live... not really. But someone does. Probably your parents.
I find that if I don't try to remember my dreams in the 1st 10 minutes after I wake up, I completely forget them but if I make the effort I remember them for years. Which makes it interesting when my brain revisits plot points.
ReplyDeleteYou got a whole book out of one dream? Nice! Great way to use the body's downtime!
