IWSG July
I have occasionally had an idea come to me in a dream. Usually, memories of dreams are transient, and I only remember whether they were pleasant and something I’d like to revisit, if only I could manage that. Otherwise, I have a passing sense of dread or revulsion and am extremely relieved not to be able to recall them. Most are anodyne and only worthy of being forgotten.
Other ideas, half-formed, or less so, come via reading or listening. Some thoughts seem as though they could be developed into something coherent, while others die on the page after a few sentences.
A good idea is a gift but those come along once in a blue moon. Now, there’s an idea for a title!

I don't have a lot of inspiration these days which is why I no longer blog daily as I did in the beginning. With the "Words for Wednesday" writing challenge I often have one word jump out and me and a sentence forms around it, then I just carry on from there to write the short story.
