Dreaming of my story...

You know you're on the right track with a story when you start dreaming about it, already written, being read, recognized, liked.

LOL

Last night, I dreamt that Ang Lee wanted to make a movie out my story (The one I'm writing now), and we were trying to pick out who the actors and actresses would be.

Jet Li was auditioning for Chen Jian...and I must say...DROOL!

Sorry, no "casting couch" scene in my dream with Jet Li.

I guess that means I really need to get it written and out there, huh? =)

Thank you...

First and foremost...

Thank you, Sonya Clark, Piedmont Writer, and BreiaB for your comments. I intend to write this story as I originally intended to, with Chinese characters.

Although, I did cave and started a second version in which the Hero is non-Chinese in his human form.

I was struggling with this story because of the very issue of ethnic main characters. I didn't want  it to be too Chinese and either be offensive, or give fodder to any fires.

Last night, I had a dream about the story. It was like watching a movie, in which my characters made themselves known to me, and I saw how the story was going to go. The Hero was non-Chinese in my dream, but the heroine was.

I'm going through the plot outline and rewriting parts this morning. I'll go in and rewrite parts of the story as well.

Sometimes, dreams can be rather helpful things. =)
