I might be going over a possible second approach to my completed first draft of Dreamless since I still really love the overall concept and idea of where I was going with it.

I am hoping to get to about 10k since I'll also be doing NaPo but I might be able to have a few minutes a day to get a few ideas out!

Also, I'm hoping to be making some kind of outline / planning eventually so some days might be dwelling around that as well.

As a brief summary, characters are dealing with some issues -- one doesn't dream (Caitlin), one has memories that aren't their own (Declan), one never gets hurt (Paris), and one can read a little too much into what someone is thinking about (Harriet).

We'll see with a later post today if I do get started today or not ...

I remember Dreamless!! I wish you lots of happy words this month (and lots of lovely poems!!) :) :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!


Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3

Ahh thanks! @Spearmint I myself am super excited to get started on writing from a new character's viewpoint, which is Declan!

@Carlito I truly have to get myself writing again, haha. Happy to be writing something in the realm of Dreamless again -- might be making some changes!

The train left Willowdale at six o’clock twice a day. Either one would brave the dawn or the dusk to flee the miserable town few called home.

Day 3: 04/03

Daily Words: 80 real words (~130 words of planning!)

Word Total: 660 words (which are all words I probably won't be using!)

Snippet: Okay, well, no snippet! But, what's cool is that I am actually planning a little as to my main character -- and this time around, they kind of cheated their way into this fancy academy -- not realizing that there's consequences to this!

(Such as acquiring memories from a stranger.)

I am deeply disturbed by your ability to meow.
