More book talk:
I have to ask a couple of my writer friends if this is the norm or not. Maybe its just me? But, I dream in dialogue.
Translation: I dream about my characters and what they should say or do in full blown movie style.
I have done this since...well, forever.
I have always written stories. Even as kid, I'd go up to my room and write stories. Well, I did until certain siblings who should remain nameless (*cough* DIANA! the one that went into my room and got them, and *cough* LEEANDRA! who read them in front of: other siblings Mike and Sarah and led the critiquing session) got hold of my stories, which, admittedly, SUCKED, and then proceeded to read them aloud and critique them in such a way that I stopped writing for a very, very, long time. {You just can't do that to a teenager!} Anyways long story short, I stopped taking writing classes or hashing out my stories on paper.
But the dream dialogue never stopped.
But eventually the writing bug caught up with me again and I've been writing and rewriting for the past 5 years, 3 different books. I'm half way through one. I'd be further along if I had followed my friends advice and stopped revamping the beginning of said book. [oops]
I hope to be finished by the end of the year and well underway of the editing process.
And last night, I had the epiphany of all my dream dialogues and I think! solved the problem I was stuck on with this newest dream dialogue.
Or, at least...we'll see if this is what fixes everything..!
