As you do...
I'm writing about six short stories at the moment but struggling with bad physical health and also just everything happening all at once, as it does.
The story that's capturing me at the moment (and the one I want to sub to my writer's group this week) is about places in dreams that you revisit. It's fascinating to me because when I had the idea for the story the three places I was thinking of were so firmly places I had been multiple times in my dreams I didn't even question it, and yet. And yet.
I've left it a few weeks (as I tend to) and the certainty that they have reappeared in my dreams has gone. I can still picture all three of them when I look at the words I've written but I don't know any more if my familiarity with them is from going there more than once or from my idea in the dream being that they were familiar. I need to keep track of whether I dream of them again but I'm worried that now I've put them down on paper they'll never come back.
Maybe that's a good thing.
