A lot of writer’s I know say that sometimes their story comes to them in dreams. I’m not one of those lucky people. I tend to dream about people trying to kill me or harm someone in my family. Wouldn’t make for a very romantic story.
I’ve been stuck lately. Not sure why. Not really stuck, because I re-read one of my wips and thought, this isn’t half bad. I was excited to get back to writing it…until I opened the document. I also started my cougar story as part of the cougar challenge. Wrote the first ten pages and feel I’m off to the right start. Still when I open this document – nothing. I just stare at the page and type nothing.
The other night I dreamt of being with another man, other than my DH. He was a very sexy Italian. I was standing on a stair, he was ground level. I wrapped my arms around his neck and the words I love you were on the tip of my tongue. Yet, I was too scared to say them. I feared they wouldn’t be returned. But I could feel the love radiating off him as he hugged me. He held me like he never wanted to let me go. And then he whispered those three magic words and my heart melted. I remember squeezing him tighter and returning his sentiments. Then I woke up.
BUT…I was left with an overwhelming feeling of love all day long. That giddy, toe curling, feeling you get when you first fall in love. The feelings have stayed with me the last few days. I want to use them when my H/H get to the point they confess their love for one another, but I have to get there. I have to write a few more scenes before they can realize their love for each other.
How do I get the words to flow so I can finally use one of my dreams?
And thanks to my fellow blog mate and friend Kat for letting me know Pretend With Me was on the coming soon page at www.jasminejade.com, last week. It totally made my day. Look for my new release April 23rd.

Congrats on the upcoming release!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever skip around when working on a book? Maybe you could write the scene where the H/H profess their love and then go back and fill in the scenes of how they got there?
It'll be released before you know it...time is going by so quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou've gotta write your dream scene in a book. I agree with Tessie...skip where you're stuck, write a scene, and go back and fill in spots.
You know I must be having major brain farts. lol
ReplyDeleteDon't know why I didn't think about writing the scene.
I'm not one to skip around, but I agree it needs to be written.
Thanks Tessie and April!
Amber, lay down on my couch and let's analyze that beautiful dream...
ReplyDeleteFirst, the dream is a major sign of healing. A warm Italian Man-your inner animus comes to you with unconditional love. He literally coaxes you to to take the next step... Know you have his love and creative support as you take that step.
My prediction? Clear the decks of all that bores you and get ready to write your fingers off as the Italian man dictates your next breakthrough novel. Lucky you, amare! Have fun.
XXOO Kat
I'm glad I laid down on your couch, Kat! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for that inspiring post.
