Dream to Novel to Best Seller #9

Hey, guys, remember these?? Yeah, this was me trying to adapt my dreams into best selling novels. Here's one that makes no sense:

A group of people narrowly escape a harrowing kidnapping attempt. . .but when they join the real world again, they've jumped forward in time and arrive in Paris, France. The current president is dead and they show up in the middle of his funeral (don't ask me why he's being buried in Paris). There's also a lot of paparazzi.

Dream/Novel Adaptation #8

This was a weird one. . .people were enslaved by a siren-type song, and then they became zombies who had to be imprisoned or killed. There was one woman who was trying to find who/what was responsible, and she began to blame another woman who'd been there since the beginning. Protagonist's husband was also one of the victims.

(also, side note that is totally irrelevant: protagonist was Tina Fey and antagonist was Amy Poehler LOL)

Best Seller! From the dreams of Emily!

In this one, we have some kind of time traveler from the future. To prove she's from the future, she's trying to predict events for her friends and family. One such event is the flood in New Orleans, and then she realizes she doesn't even know when it will happen. Her lack of knowledge on current events and history leaves her in a pickle as she tries to get help to get back to the future. Her predictions are usually half-right, half-wrong, and people start to wonder if she's got something loose in the head.

Best Seller #6

A speculative fiction novel. The main character is an author, and her family knows a strange guy who takes existing stories and uses a code to make songs out of them. The guy starts messing around with her stories and is soon responding to her fans pretending to be the other.

It doesn't have an ending. It's one of those experimental novels that doesn't make sense and has a cliffhanger.

(Yeah, it didn't make sense to me, either.)

Best Seller #5

I haven't had one of these in a while. . .this dream was really interesting. The main character of my next dream/novel adaptation has the ability to pull people into her imagination, showing them worlds they can only see through her mind. In my dream, she was helping a young girl who wanted to be a princess, but I think this could go anywhere. It'll be called Imagine. Original title, yeah?

Best Seller #4

This dream was a little hard to sort out, but I've got the basics of a story down. This couple went through some hard times - a couple miscarriages and separation for a little while - but they get away on a small cruise for what they hope to be a romantic get-away. The boat has an emergency, causing it to land on a mysterious island where they encounter pirates and a past love of the husband. It'll be titled, A Sea of Love.

Best Seller #3

My next best-selling story is about a couple who gets what they want with their looks. It's called If Looks Could Get You Everything You Want.

I just have to add that this was inspired by a dream in which my husband told me the only way the police would let us go skydiving is if we looked like guidos. And he forced me to shave my armpits. Weirdest. Dream. Ever.

another best-seller

Okay, when I said "every day", I meant "when I get around to it" and "when I remember my dreams."

So, this is my next best-seller. A dinosaur-like creature threatens to destroy our world. The protagonist decides to be the hero to try to stop this, and his ex-girlfriend (who happens to be my best friend) is impressed with his bravery and wants to help. It's set in the future with flying cars, and my husband and I will probably make an appearance, too. It's titled The Flight of the Brave.

THE FIRST ENTRY

Hey, everyone! This is my new writing blog! I'll write whatever I want here about writing, submitting, editing. Anything to do with words.

You may or may not know that Stephenie Meyer got the idea from Twilight from a dream she had. Well, every day I'm going to post what my next best selling "phenomenon" will be about based on my current dreams. As long as I remember my dream from the night before.

My next best seller will be about finding a king and queen vampire (no, really, there were vampires). It will also involve eating ice cream before bed, the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, and flashlights. It'll be called Royally Vamped. Sounds like a hit, right?
