Dream diary
Do you dream a lot? Are you a creative person? Perhaps you can combine the two, and become a creative writer based on your dreams? Where do the creative ideas of authors come from anyway – from the subconscious, or conscious mind? Ideas which may seem crazy to begin with may start the flow of other ideas and a story is born!
Earlier this year, writer Justyn Walker spoke to students at our school about using their dreams to begin the writing process. As he is a fantasy writer, this made a lot of sense. As some of his books involve heroine Georgie Tanner tackling dragon pits, booby-trapped meals, traitors, spies and combat croquet. He must have very vivid dreams.
What happens in your dreams? Can you remember them when you wake? Would they spark the start of a story if you jotted down some ideas? Why not try it and see? I’m going to start a ‘Dream Diary’ and see how far I fly! (and how often!!)
