"The Dream" by Pablo Picasso (1932)
So, the other night I had a recurring dream that seemed to go on and on all night long. The thing is, I didn't want it to end, because it was basically the plot (including character) of a book I'd like to read. Which, of course, means it's a book I'd like to write. The best part is that the starring character is the one I was journaling about a few months ago. I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried, figure out her story. I knew her, and I knew some basic traits and fears she had, but I couldn't figure out what her story was. Now I know. Isn't the unconcious mind fascintating? So, I got up in the morning and noted everything I could remember and added a few plotlines and characters that seemed to match. Today (my writing day), I'm trying hard to get some strong plotting done.
So, now I'm trying to revise the same book I've been working on for over a year, work on the YA I started and love, and now plot the next one. How do you work? How do you choose what you're going to work on?
