I think maybe TOPAZ, my WIP, originated from my dreams of flying (everyone has those, right?). Faith, the MC, has wings, but they're not your typical feathered, pretty-as-a-Christmas-angel wings. They're bat-like, bordering on ugly — which, logically, is what a human would have for wings. A funny thing about my dreams of flying, though, which I realized only recently: in them, I'm never higher than treetop height. Why? Because I'm scared of heights! Luckily Faith doesn't have this handicap, so she's quite content jumping off 50-storey buildings.

TOPAZ status: Still working on Chapter 14. It just does not want to be written, probably because I haven't found the right Chapter 14 yet. Frustrating.

The ability to fly has been something sought after since the beginning of the human race. Good for us "spec fic" writers, I suppose, since we'll always have an audience that will connect with those types of stories.
And to answer your question, no, I don't dream about my stories, but I do dream about my characters. They have a tendency to pop in and complain about whatever I'm currently putting them through.
The idea process for my stories is pretty close to daydreaming, though, until it gets released by either writing it in the "idea journal" or typing it into the actual story.
I wish my characters would pop into my dreams, maybe indulge my request for an interview...:)
Howdy :)
So you've got the blog craze too, huh?
