So just puzzling over this short story, I’ve decided to just see what happens when I just write, and get all of my ideas down on paper. I’m at the early stages, where the raw imagery is just floating around in my brain with attached words and ideas clinging on.
I need to remember the advice I’ve been given on sentence structure – I could do with being clearer. Unfortunately it’s just a habit I’ve picked up somewhere, and am going to need to violently kick as soon as possible if I really intend to get anywhere.
I’d like it to begin with someone waking up, and I want the theme of dreams to underpin and recur within it. Not the basic ‘it was all a dream’ concept, more of a crossing in the bridge of dream and reality. Essentially, bordering on fantasy but with some sort of grounding force to keep it from becoming solely unrealistic. I’ve got nothing against total fantasy, but for now, I’d like to keep to something more solid until I’ve become more comfortable with writing it.
