First Breath After A Coma

I’ve been gone for a minute and now I’m back with the jump off. 

I don’t really have an excuse for why I haven’t been writing. I’ve been lazy. I’ve been playing a lot of Final Fantasy X… and I have been going out with friends a lot. 

Somehow, I feel that going out a lot and watching a lot of movies and playing a lot of video games will inspire me to write. I tend to forget that I still have to sit down and attempt to write. 

Blogging has always been a good outlet for me and it is a stress reliever. 

My first post said this blog would focus more on my writing than my personal life, but I’ve changed my mind, though I don’t have much of a personal life to discuss. 

To get the ball rolling, I’ll discuss a dream I had the other night. 

I’ve always had strange dreams, ever since I can remember. Usually the dreams are about people I don’t know. I’m normally not in my dreams. Nonetheless, I feel what these people feel. Quite strongly. 

The dream I had the other night started me though. I was at this party and ran into an ex of mine. The strange thing is I only have two exes and this guy was not one of them. Somehow we started talking and talking lead to dancing and then somehow we separated from the rest of the party and found ourselves in a room alone. I could tell he wanted to kiss me and that made me extremely nervous (as it does in real life) and I brought up something random and stupid as he went in for the kiss. Something that made him second guess his decision and he left the room. I chase after him, but I woke up before I could find him.

When I woke up I just felt this feeling of regret. It was so strange and so powerful. Like a good writer, I wrote it all down in my dream journal, well, at least every detail I could remember.

A few years ago, I learned that if I go a long time without writing anything, my dreams get more powerful and intense. They also get very dark and weird. I feel it is the Powers That Be telling me to get my ass writing. 

So, I decided I’m going to take this concept, this one small scene in a bigger story and build upon it. I think I will just make a short story (short script to be more accurate) and see what comes of it.
