Writing a Book

I had a very very vivid dream the other day, and when I woke up, it took me 2 full hours to process it. What's 'process' you ask? Usually, when I wake up, I go chronologically through the dream and think about it.

And I must say, it could be made into a movie. No for real, the feel good movie of the year and all.

The really weird part of the dream was where I would sleep in the dream, and dream OTHER dreams, and those dreams? THEY WERE WHAT HAPPEN TO ME THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. Like, riding the carousel in Disney World, eating  steak at a restaurant with Eric's family, etc. So, if nothing else, this weekend I am DEFINITELY making an outline of the dream, and trying to fill in the gray areas. This is the single best (story-wise) dream I have had in two years.

The last time I had a dream like this, I told it to Eric on the way to a wedding. We completely missed our exit and he drove down the expressway for another hour because he was so captivated. I made a vow to make SURE SURE SURE the next time I have an epic story dream to WRITE IT DOWN before my memory starts to get fuzzy.

In OTHER news, my cousin Thomas has commissioned me to paint a painting for a book cover for his poetry book. The way this works is he submits his poetry, and if it wins, his book get published. Either way, I am going ahead and painting the painting. If nothing else, he can keep it as a "sorry your book didn't get published" consolation prize.

OH WAIT, HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN MY ETSY SHOP?

There is one painting up there, mostly because I need someone to help me take photos with a non-bunk digital camera. Out of 400 pictures, those are the only ones that turned out. But what can I say, I love me some 50's Era robots.

So, everyone say your prayers that Thomas gets his book deal, and that my cover art is SPECTACULAR.

And with that, everyone have a great weekend!
