Work and More Work

I've been working a lot and been el' sicko lately, hence the lack of blogging. Not sure where my days have been going, except passing me by in some kind of blinding speed of light, much like a tornado picking me up from my bed in the morning spinning me around and then tossing me somewhere in the vicinity of my bed by the evening, usually on my head or my butt. Though nowadays I can't much tell the difference between either.

I am however attending the WRW Retreat. Another reason for all the working so I can pay for that and my vacation, which was already booked last year before all my financial craziness ensued. Ack!

(Lizzy, please forgive for not calling about this. It was a last minute decision—literally 2 days prior—and I totally forgot to tell you until it was too late [too much going in my brain and not enough going out]. I'm such a dweeb. Forgive me :( ])

So I'm thrilled about that. Now I just need to get my latest and greatest in shape to pitch and between working on site and the working on Billion Dollar Graphics, my writing has gotten pitched to Oz along with Dorothy and Toto.

But I'm blogging, and that's a step. I was making progress before my week o' hell and getting up early to write before the tornado sweeps me away, but I'm not as far along as I'd like to be. I'm hoping to settle more into a routine once I kick this lingering cold, which won't go away. Ugh!

Anyway, Karen suggested writing about superpowers ... because ... that's what my latest book is about—a league of superheroes. I had the idea over a year or so ago and I've developed the synopsis and a lot of points on it, so I've very excited. Which has led me to thinking, geek that I am, what my superpower would be.

Hmmmm ....

I though it might be cool to do everything, like Peter from Heroes, who can assume others' powers after having been in contact with them. Now he has a vast collection of powers. But I think that might require too much multi-tasking for me.

I had a dream years ago where I could phase through things, like Kitty Pride from X-Men. It was a lot of fun in my dream. So maybe something along the lines of alternating my molecules to allow myself to phase through walls and objects and maybe even turn invisible.

I just think I could have a lot of fun with that one. :P

What about you? What would be your superpower?

What Dreams May Come

Okay, so I know that dreams only sound interesting to the dreamer. But I had a scary dream last night and it was so cool.

Yes ... I know ... excited about scary dreams? What's up with that?

Well, I get some of the best ideas from dreams and mostly nightmares. Lately, for whatever reason, I haven't been dreaming or remembering my dreams, which has put a crimp in my creativity.

Last night I dreamt I went to a haunted house. It had the normal scary ghost children playing with old-fashioned toys, who threatened to kill me as their eyes glowed read; however, what was really creepy was the master bedroom. It was a rainy day in my dream and the curtains were open and what little light made the room seem grey. I flicked on the light, and the room went totally black. Instead of the light illuminating the room, all of the light was sucked out. I slowly backed out of room, knowing that something was lying in wait inside the darkness, and ran like hell out of the house.

Then I woke up.

Totally need to use that in one of my stories.
