And I'm still not caught up :p I'm not even up to what yesterdays post count should be! I've tried to describe everything in gross detail. Way too much really. I had abreviations and I stopped using them to try and get a few more words in :p and now I'm stuck again! My big problem is Why?
Why would you want to fight for a dream world that's being destroyed by a creature from one of your other nightmares? Couldn't you just create the dream world again? Is there going to be ripples that affect your awake life? If you die fighting the creature will you die in real life? If you leave it alone and you go to the first dream world and the creature comes and attacks do you die then?
Bleh I have no answers! Abby where did you find that list of plot points? I think I can use it now :)

Has the dream world come to mean so much to the character that he/she cannot stand the idea of its no longer existing? It has grown beyond being a creation to having developed a life of its own. It is a separate world. Maybe?

hmm well it hasn't come to mean that much. But it does seem to have gone atonomous? can't spell I've been typing fast and hitting all the squigly red lines tonight. The dream world is now making its own creatures.
On an note I went to my husbands fish meeting and wrote some more so I'm now caught up and back on track! Whoopie! and I've still got more to type :) I left my dream world for a bit and came back to what the husband in the story is doing about the events he's witnessed and finding out where exactly how the werefish came to the fair.

Good grief! Congrats on the 6k today! Now if only I could get inspired for my 10k sprint! ;)
Maybe the dream world is connected in such a way to reality, that the longer she ignores the dream world destruction, the more your mc notices things becoming damaged or destroyed in reality. IE the water in the dreamworld has gone toxic, and in the real world its turning a disgusting shade of brown and has to be boiled to become safe to drink?
Don't know if the ideas are usable to you right now or not, but good luck!

Hmmm, I don't think it'd be the kind of thing to affect the whole world but maybe just her and her friends lives something in that.

Hey.. if you get stuck again.. how about the mc's dream world coming to life? I'm sure you can bs a number of words just by having the mc try to explain how dreams are becoming reality...

hmm that's kinda happend. The werefish/wolf made it into the real world and The Purple Lion has been spotted too but not sure why he came out. Fred (werefish/wolf) I wrote why :p
Think I'm going good now. Wrote a Transformer Dream Sequence the other day. Have to go back and fix a name and add one. Wrote about what the husband is doing while his wife and son are asleep fighting stuff out in the dream world :p
About to do a car accident. What are some things the officer on scene would ask you if you suddenly slamed your breaks and the car behind you hit you? I've got it written now as a near miss and the cop comes by and asks some stuff to make sure the husband is ok and not drunk but I figure a lot more word count if I've got pissed off drivers :)

Yeah yesterday I finally typed in what I had written over my breaks. Scene wasn't completly finished so I fleshed I it out some more and wrote some other weird stuff into the dream. I now have three friggin story lines :p Then I figured out my word count for tomorrow so I tried to get to that so when I get off work I can come home and clean the house :p My word document says 27,000 even but the cut and paste feature finds an extra word :p
