Dream a Little Dream of Chris Pacholczak

I’m glad Robin enjoyed my dream story from a few nights ago… when he found out I had a shotgun! I don’t know that I’ll finish it, I’m having fun focusing my writing efforts on my children’s story. But I thought I’d share my dream from last night — it’s much simpler than the robot-zombie dream.

I dreamed that Chris Pacholczak and I were paddling a canoe together in the sky. (Pretty good already, eh?) We paddled up to the roof of the sky where all the clouds were. It was only ten metres high or so. Chris was busy looking into the clouds by pushing up sections of the clouds like tiles in a drop ceiling. Inside each section was a cube shaped hollow filled with many smaller cube pieces of the sky. I stood up in the canoe and grabbed hold of the sky and hung above the lake we were over. We were near the shore but the campers who were below us told me the water was only seven feet deep. I had an urge to let go and drop into the lake, but I knew it would be unsafe.

In story news, I picked up a notebook this past weekend and some new pens. I’ve been working on the story in it daily. Today is another nice day, so after I clean up the house a bit and go grocery shopping, I’m going to head outside and work on it some more. I’m still working on developing the plot of the story (which in a broad sense is nailed down) and doing character development / motivation.

Richard, suggested that some writers do a lot of “world building” prior to writing. I had done some of that a while ago, when I was working on ideas for my story. I’m finding that I don’t really need much of that anymore, but the character development is providing an interesting back story.

Disclaimer: Don’t count on me ever finishing this project, by the way. I make no promises.
