You're going back to it speaks volumes as to your determination and how much writing meant to you. <br /><br />HugsJude Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067166768734750026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-89588370928531134782009-09-01T15:28:07.618-04:002009-09-01T15:28:07.618-04:00Jenna,

LOL<br /><br />Lisabet, the first time a character woke me from a dead sleep was amazing. I'd run into a block and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the problem was. The story was going along fine, the plot was awesome and all of a sudden it was like I'd walked into a brick wall. No matter what I tried, nothing seemed to work. The main character was a dominant man. He'd told his submissive girlfriend to get into the car. I'd had him open the door for her. THAT was the problem. Such a simple thing had stopped me cold. Middle of the night, he said, "There's no way in hell I'd open the door for her." End of problem. Weird!<br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting!<br /><br />HugsJude Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067166768734750026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-91391077396545341512009-09-01T13:15:30.538-04:002009-09-01T13:15:30.538-04:00They have been in influence all my writing life, f...They have been in influence all my writing life, from my 'Holy Communion' to my 'Vienna Dolorosa' each book has been inspired by my dream state. When I had my stroke over twelve ago and pretty much had stopped writing a dream brought it all back. I envisioned 'Times Queer' in a dream and the next morning began writing it down with one finger, one hand, which I've now been doing for almost twelve years. Are dreams important?

Looks like being a TRILOGY of books (paranormal, romance, myth & mystery - take your pick! All these headings apply ......) and each book about 90K++ WordCount ... not bad for a 10-15 second Dream!!

I'm just usually too lazy to use it!<br /><br />I don't think I've ever dreamed about the characters that I'm working on. I might get the original idea from a dream, but once I start writing, the characters don't bother me except when I'm awake!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-50915942594130464322009-09-01T06:05:20.525-04:002009-09-01T06:05:20.525-04:00Hi Jude,
