Memories & Dreams

Lately I've been having some of the some of the strangest dreams ever, and we all know that when I dream it's a new story trying to get out. I'm not sure if they are all the same story or bits and pieces of a lot of stories...it's weird but Vlad tells me they are important...so like a good author that I am I've been jotting down notes. One day they'll all suddenly come to fruition and I'll realise why my dreams have been so vivid.

The truth is; sometimes I'm not sure if they are dreams or I'm recalling a memory that I may have shoved to the back of my mind.  I think most writers pull inspiration from their own lives. Isn't the saying: write what you know?

But I think most of my inspiration comes from dreams... and maybe a line of lyrics out of a song I've been listening to. Why am I telling you all this I hear you ask. Because, I think everyone has it in them to be a writer--whether it be a writer of books, poetry, songs, TV programs, or movies. I think I'm trying to say that maybe if you have a thought however strange it is, you should write it down. That strange thought may be the one to make all your dreams come true.

  2. Hi, I'm just popping in to say how rapt I am to find not only another Australian author of M/M out there, but a fellow Queenslander! Going to have to start reading your work. :)
