Stephanie Meyer got the idea of Twilight from a dream. She woke up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, and envisioned a pale girl standing in front of a glistening boy, asking him, "How old are you?". Vampires and adventure and love stories swirled in her head and she wrote Twilight in a matter of months.
Sometimes dreams are good writing prompts. You never get an entire plot from them, since they're often disjointed and confusing if you write it all down. But you can get glimpses of something special that your brain has thought of, and sometimes you can wrangle it in, lasso to a cow, and tie it down long enough to write it.
I have a new story idea. Excerpt below. Enjoy.
