I dreamed (dreamt?) the other night of a truly fantastical story about a woman held captive by her own body after an accident. Presumed to be in a vegetative state for the remainder of her life (what little there might be left), and without any family to take care of her, doctors performed an experimental procedure resulting in a pregnancy. They were able to keep her body alive long enough to fully gestate the baby, but unexpectedly she began to recover after its birth.
Where it goes from here is top secret right now, and I finished the outline - the working outline, subject to many probable revisions - last night at about 1:00am. Needless to say, my excitement for the story and the possibilities for the character(s) has not waned. I could barely sleep last night just thinking about what could happen.
This is my blog of the inner beast, my inner beast. A behind-the-scenes look at what it takes me to tell this story and how I might (operative word here) overcome some of my demons by putting them out on the page. I'm hoping to take a journey here, and I may post a few ideas for feedback, all in the hopes of writing a good story, an entertaining one that I would like to read myself and share with others. I'm inspired by some recent authors' successes to get this done. Just to finish something would be nice, too.
Stay tuned. My characters will be alive very soon.
