Dream Sequence

My foray into NaNoWriMo seems to be on schedule. I've written 3,378 words over the past two days. Which, according to the stats on their site is good, even putting me a little ahead of schedule. Something I'm really enjoying about this is that I find myself holding back on re-reading and editing what I've written. NaNoWriMo is all about getting the words onto the paper, not paying attention to whether or not they make sense or fit within the flow of the story. I needed something like this because I'm writing with reckless abandon, jotting down any stray thought that comes to mind and fitting my characters into it. My original story idea my only be surviving on a meager thread, but that can be fixed down the road if I decide to truly push this as my "Great Gay American Novel".

This morning on the drive to work, the idea of a dream sequence popped into my head, and I decided to run with it to what will happen. Should make for an interesting mini-turn in the story.


I'm not sure that I'll post any of the novel. It's pure drivel and at the moment, not worthy for human consumption . . . other than my own. So for now, I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs about dreams, performed by Madonna and written by Björk: Bedtime Story.
