Real Dreams

OK I've had enough of dreams of volcanos erupting and tidal waves, I must admit the volcano dream was right after seeing Toy Story when they face a moment of death,a nd it was in 3D, say no more ...

So how's my dream going? well if you read my twitter I'm trying to right that screenplay - you know the one that does it for you, that possibly just possibly gets you an agent and then a writing assignment, that one. Well I'm on my third draft of the same story, well actually the characters changed before I started the story (from initial outline) and now the story has reverted back to sort of what I had initially but more characters bu I'm having fun, ad a spec script should be a bit of that I think.

But it's taking me so long, it's a complete re-write but at least I can pull in the good bits from the last version, and I'm getting tighter but I want to finish it already so I can work on my next one. It has been narly a year ago I started the MA and writing said script. But I'm over half way through now so gotta go, got ten pages to write today ... and it;s the middle act, so we'll see ....

Everybody has dreams right?

If you think about it everybody sleeps and whilst some people may say they never dream I don't really believe them, we all dream whether it is in our sleep or just simply day-dreaming.

For me being a writer day-dreaming is enormously important and I'm learning also the power of self-visualisation, that thing that Olympic contestants do, visualising where you want to be, how you want it to be can be extremely powerful - as well as mind-boggling tiring sometimes, but the upside is that you start to believe in it so much you can sort of ride that crest of the wave until what you want becomes almost irritatingly possible and you want it to have happened already!

So go to it, just remember to have some fun on the way.
