Well well well, it's been awhile! Believe it or not I have actually been keeping myself busy lately. I didn't think was possible without a car, but I have been making it work. If this is any indication of how it's going to be all summer, I say bring it on. The last thing I want to do all summer is sit around at home.
So I have been writing in my dream journal again, as I have said. What I have been finding is that there is a lot of writing material hidden in my dreams, however, I cannot access it until I move away from it. What I mean is, I cannot take a dream I had last night and turn it into a story. I don't know why. Almost none of my dreams make sense after I wake up, but with a little tweaking, they could really turn into something special (sometimes). The problem is, I can't tweak them right after I have them.
I decided to flip back through my journal the other day to read some of the things I had written. I forgot all about them, and being dreams, of course even when I tried I could not remember them. Therefore I could not remember every single thing about them, and it was easier for me to mess around with some of the events. This excites me because I have a whole notebook full of my own genuine ideas that I can work with. YAY!
Speaking of dreams and ideas...Randy had a weird dream last night that I am totally stealing. I didn't have it, so I am able to mess around with the ideas in it.
Completely different, although a little related, subject. I called about a job the other day. I REALLY wanted it. It's something I know I would be kick ass at and that I know I would love. It's also the type of job that kind of falls into your lap, not the kind you can really pursue. I got a call back on it today...saying they are no longer accepting applicants. I was crushed. I understand that in today's economy that jobs are tough to come by, but I REALLY wanted this. Plus it was in Albion so I had a ride until we could get Randy's car back.
The only way this is related is that now that I have been crushed and denied what I was looking for, it's back to writing. I got the flash drive, but I haven't done anything with it. Sometime in the next few days, probably Saturday but we will see, I am going to create files dedicated to each story idea that I can work on as I go along. This will be a great way to organize my thoughts and to help me not forget what I have been working on in my mind.
Anyhow, I didn't actually think I had anything to say, but of course as usual I ran on. Enjoy my readers, I will return another day...
