Stella Brandon Has A Dream

This picture is entirely unrelated to this post, but cool nonetheless.

Yesterday morning I woke up only wanting to go back to sleep. Not because sleep is awesome or I was tired, but because I was having the coolest dream. It had it all, a little adventure, some violence, and the possibility of an unforeseen romance.

As I was on the fringe of reality, I kept telling myself, "You have to write this down! You've got something here, this could be huge!"

After waking I pondered the world I had created in my dreams. It was pretty incredible. I turned on my computer and began to write it all down. I didn't forget it. Not a thing. I have the outline saved on my desktop. I can't wait to start writing.

The world in my head was vivid, the characters alive, demanding attention. It's a story that needs to be told. The concept needs work, and there are some gaps that need to be filled, but it's a start.

I've never come up with ideas this way before, it almost feels like a gift. I haven't written in a while. With the next month off of school, it seems like an infinitely better way of spending my time than lazing around the house unshowered all day.

I'm excited, and it's a good feeling.

**Stella Brandon was my pen name from my writing class last winter. It's kind of hot, right?
