Ack! My bold plan to do the Monday night writing group boldly tanked. The people are ok but the venue & the interaction ain't.

With the first book done (& soon off to an editor)), the second calls, & rather insistently. I know precisely how it ends in terms of plot & in terms beloved & not so beloved characters. Ending in hand, I can now begin. ✒️📃

Writing prompts are regularly posted here . . . I am more intrigued by how people use their dreams (images or stories) to deepen a story already in process.

My dream imagery last night inspired some world building & character backstory for Bks 2 & 3 of my academic mystery series (WIP).

Lots of blue green ice! And the Bronze age Nebra Sky Disk! A little more detail on that over on my IG page:

I have the geographic location of my academic mystery's fictional college set on my phone's weather app. It & the people may all be imaginary but I like to keep tabs on them. 🙂

I also have weather & moon phase reports for the years of my story. I want to be sure things are accurate on the ground, as it were. Love that a Canadian polar vortex swept over my campus during the exact 2 weeks I needed. 😁
