dream stories

I am writing again, much like the majority of stories I write, it started with a dream.  I dream vividly, every night, full color and story line.  When I wake I am able to remember my dream (sometime's multiple dreams) and every once in a while, there is a dream that sticks with me.  Something that rattles in my head until I put it on paper.  So I started putting it on paper, I found that if I don't write it down, it starts to form its own story line, plot, character development and crowds out the things I should be doing.  So I am writing.

The first 29 pages came quickly, in 2 afternoons, but now I am done with the dream part of it and it is time to decide if the story is enough to pull me into writing more.  Names are the hardest part of the story for me to come up with.  I look through baby books, names on the internet and any other venue I can find interesting names.  I wrote a story that ended up being a full 300 pages and unfortunately for me the main characters name is Bella.  So with the current Twilight phenomenon, I will just have to wait or endure the countless comments about how I named the character the same name as Bella from Twilight.

I started this blog with New Beginnings, I didn't know if I would be brave enough to let others read my writings so I can't imagine that I will ever post any of my dream stories here but maybe one day, in a moment of unusual bravery, I will post a bit, perhaps 1 chapter and see what happens.
