You know that old saying…
Careful what you wish for, because you might just get it…
Well, that’s what my Nano story is about, a girl learning the hard way that you have to be very specific with your wishes because sometimes they do come true.
It’s six thirty in the morning and I should be carrying on with that story, as early in the morning or late at night is when the writing comes easiest for me. But right now I can barely type this damn post!
I wish for things.
I wanted to lose some weight before Christmas, and as I now don’t own a pair of tight jeans, I should be thrilled. But as my boobs are vanishing faster than my butt I’m discovering it’s not about weight, and more about proportions. Then again, when Christmas arrives I should be able to put this wish right, so I won’t fret yet.
I wished for my muse to return, and he has! And so far, that’s great. Except he’s a little consuming, and I’m a little tired. But again, I’ll get November out the way, and then discuss our working relationship with him.
No the wish that I’m truly regretting is that one I made, to remember my dreams. Well now I have that wish. The last three nights I have woken and they’ve all be clear and bright as day. And now I want them to go away. On the first morning, I was amused, thinking that maybe I should write horror stories. Yesterday I was subdued, and began to wonder what my subconscious was trying to tell me. Today, I am just a wreck, and I’ve already had three cigarettes and spent half an hour trying to stop crying and write this damn thing!
Yep, I should learn to be very, very careful for what I wish for.

Congrats on how well your NaNoWriMo is going. Glad your muse has moved in for the duration!
I promise I'll do a blog on dreams some time soon. I messed around with my dreams in the first year of med school, and got frightened enough by it to leave it alone. Bottom line: I think whatever it is that generates dreams (1) has a deeply wicked sense of humor and (2) doesn't like to be f'd with.
Isn't it odd? Mostly your postings get a steady flow of comments, but not this one. It's the third time I've been here (just in case you've posted something else) and I couldn't think of anything to say.
Perhaps we're all frightened of mentioning your boobs.
Oops.
Oh good, Dave. I was afraid I'd be the one to accidentally mention her boobs!
Doug, I’ll look forward to reading about it – especially as I had no idea dreams could be messed around with! But if there’s a way, then I want in, to kick the dream master’s butt!
Dave – I think it’s because my posts are becoming so boring, few are coming to visit me anymore *sob*. And I most surprised it was you who mentioned my boobs first (not that there’s a much to talk about ;o))
Maureen – I’ve just updated and I’m ahead of yoooooouuuuuuu ;o)
'And I most surprised it was you'
Good heavens, you're turning into Yoda. Except it would be even better as: 'And I most surprised you it was'.
Sorry, forget I mentioned it.
And the other thing.
Things.
Which I didn't mention.
;-)
FTS - Umm, actually I normally enjoy getting what I wish for, but my wishes tend to be on the small side (easily pleased, as my BH says ;o))
Dave, Lol, alright - I type too fast! And I don't need to forget because I wasn't shocked, just surprised as there were other men here first ;o)
Oh, and while we're mentioning typos, you're not a wreak.
there, that's pushed up the number of comments for you.
Oh my goodness! And I read it through! Guess I'll have to blame it on lack of sleep (as opposed to just being dim ;o))
What is your secret for conjuring up your muse?
Hi Lita, having tried many tips over the last couple of years, it seems to be: signing up for NaNoWriMo with Maureen and Doug watching me ;o)
Up for it next year?
Make notes for blogging later. And b**g about them right now, like Hoss did today. In any case, don't let them go to waste.
(P.S. Boobs are overrated.)
Ugh. It's nearly 10PM here and I have yet to get started.
Here we go . . .
This is spooky! I woke at 3 am with a dream vivid in my mind. I dreamed that I was writing a comment on your blog!
MOH – Sorry to hear you suffer too. My daughter S also has a lot of nightmares and I’m thinking maybe they run in families – does anyone else in your family experience them?
Hoss – so are you a leg man?
Doug – I managed nothing yesterday :o(
Dave, so now I'm causing spooky dreams ;o)
