Dreams and Stories

The story I am writing exists, written in perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it. -Jules Renard

That's kind of how I feel about my screenplay.  I literally had a dream, woke up, wrote it down, went back to sleep and knew when I woke up the next morning that I had finally found something to write about.  Now that I'm about halfway through the completion of the first draft, I find myself hoping that another dream comes along to steer me in the right direction.  I have an outline, I know where it starts and where it ends.  I know the characters and who they are.  It is just taking a little finagling to find out how they get to where they're going.  But I'm chugging along.  I'm writing scenes as they come to me.  I'm writing scenes because they are part of my outline.  I'm pretty sure not all of it will see the light of day...but it is good to have something and see how I can rewrite to make it fit later.  And so now...back to work...maybe I should take a nap.  You never know what gold can be found in dreamland.
