Dreaming Again --

[alfreda89]

I am a channel for the creative power of the universe. (My Monday Intention from some of those power of positive thinking folks....)

Let's see, now...dreams.... (Just put the ADD patch on -- hurray! If I could only always remember it.) Sleep was bad Thursday and Friday night -- like waking every 30 minutes. Yes, you DO get sorta psychotic sleeping like that. Saturday a little better, but not a lot. So I finally surrender, when a stack of stuff that usually helps is not helping, and email my doctor. Who says increase the dose of XX. So I do.

Intensely vivid dreams, large chunks of....are you ready for this? (Icon is explained!) A sequel to HIDDEN FIRES, one of the NUALA books.

No, S, you may not have a sequel to HIDDEN FIRES unless enough E-books sell to justify a sequel. I just write too slowly, most of the time.

It was very strange to suddenly have this huge story just POURING out at me. All this stuff my backbrain has apparently been writing for years, and sitting on, waiting for me to heal so it could tell the forebrain about things.

Now -- my cable is hosed again, so time to call Time Warner.

Already have been doing that - for several years. will continue...

And keep fingers crossed.

Nuala just feels so real. Fires is one of the books that I reread to encourage myself to believe that Homo sap will manage to survive its current idiocy. Of course Nuala shows that there are bigger challenges ahead for the species!

Oh, yeah --

The stuff coming at me is only subplot (although the romance readers will be happy with some of it!) but other parts of it are appalling. This is about Rex Dielaan's war, and I had no idea what was seething under a couple of the clans, just ready to explode.

Who would think that sharing food during an expected famine could cause all this....

Dielans war .... oh my. Still in Daramae's time ... double ooohs:
Do I have to come to Texas and cook and clean for you to encourage the book to get written?

Well -- I've decided I've got to start having notes to myself -- I can see that this book will have more POV than I've ever done, and they have to be good ones. Especially if they are so-called bad guys. So often bad guys are just frightened, or planning to make sure their gang comes out on top if things are going to upend. No comfort to whom they hurt, but I am in a position to force my characters to grow up or else!

Don't have to come tidy up yet -- just keep fingers crossed it sells well enough that I am writing for a living and not as a hobby after working, sleeping, cooking macro food and recovering from all three activities....
