Novel-writing Diary. Week 6: Perchance to Dream
This week I had a holiday, a few days break to my favourite Yorkshire sea-side place and to visit my mum-in-law in Yorkshire too. I also had a birthday so it's been a great week. It also meant I had a break from writing for a few days. That doesn't mean I had a break from thinking and planning and talking to my characters though. No. That all still went on.
But what did happen is that I started dreaming again. I love dreaming and I do it a lot. I have vivid dreams, in colour, that I tend to remember well the next day. But when I'm writing, I stop dreaming. Now I'm not Freud (as you know) and I don't know Fancy Brain Stuff (as you may also know) but it seems to me there's a clear link between creativity during the day time and not dreaming at night. Or at least for me there is.
Anyway, I dreamed. I had a great week's holiday and I ate ice-cream.
Today I'm back to writing again with two chapters to complete before a deadline next week.
