Dreams into Stories ~ Write it Down!!

Posted by Unknown at Wednesday, April 20, 2011 0 comments
Do you dream? When you have dreams, do you remember them and have you ever thought of writing about them? I have a few dreams lately and while most of the time I don't remember them lately I've actually been inspired and remembered them. I keep saying I'm going to write down my dreams / story ideas and I never do. Now that I'm 40 it's time to stop putting things off. So here goes....


IDEA # 1: In my dream I saw various people walking through a lush English garden with people dressed in Victorian era clothing like living works of art. The living art consisted of only the most beautiful perfect people and they were dressed meticulously with extreme attention to detail. The people viewing the living art were oblivious to that these were real people (from little children all the way up to the elderly).  

As the dream unfolded, I realized that the living art people were actually specifically bred and enslaved to be beautiful works of art for those that can afford them. It has become a status symbol in a world full of privileged, elitist, selfish people that are always looking for ways to relieve their boredom. 

So if I was going to write this into a story, it would become a futuristic thriller about a pair of star-crossed lovers from both worlds trying to escape the world they are living in. It would be interesting to add a paranormal element to the story too, but I'm not quite sure how that could work into the story. If this was well done, it could make a cool movie or TV series on the SyFy network - done by Joss Whedon (see Dollhouse) would be awesome.

My problem is I am full of ideas, but how do I actually get a story written (writing is in my genes; not so sure I have the words, talent and discipline to make it happen)?

Review ~ Wicked Lovely

Posted by Unknown at Thursday, February 04, 2010 0 comments
Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely, #1) Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I found this book a little hard to get into initially. The characters had little appeal especially the heroine Aislinn - she was weak, insecure, and very blah. I think the character I caught on with first was Donia because there was something interesting about her. I found as the novel went on the character development improved and I became more invested in the story. One thing that kind of picked me and made no sense was why Aislinn's friends were so intent on pushing her towards Keenan. Was that because of his charms? I thought the only decent friendship in the whole book was between Aislinn and Seth. It seems like the other friends were superfulous and it turns out one of them Leslie is in the next book, so I guess that's her purpose.

Overall I would recommend this book to others who appreciate this genre or teen romance. I plan to read the rest of the series to see where it goes. I am currently reading Ink Exchange (hard to get into again). I know there are another 2 books at least in the works.
