Dreaming

6. June 2009 by Starr.

Last night, various characters from “Something’s at the Gate” were in my dreams.  Sometimes it’s hard to get them out of my head, and I don’t want to, anyway.  I like that they’re there.  I think it’s a good thing, that they are real to me.  For, it causes me to truly care about what they’re going through…what they think and feel and where they are going, or aren’t.  If characters aren’t real to me, they won’t be real to readers.

 The two male characters, Rats and Mekiah, continue to butt heads and compete, not only in my dreams, and how I see them, but in scenes when they are together.  It’s not that they want to upstage each other, but they each have their goals targeted.  They both want to win.  They both want to live.  They both want to die. 

A couple of weeks ago, I heard Mekiah clearly say in my head, “It’s like I swallowed a dark potion of no regret…and it has overtaken me.”  Today…that’s where I begin on this beautiful sunny Saturday…at the point at which Mekiah swallowed that potion.
