I had yet another terrifying nightmare last night. I always feel bad when I tell people that I rarely dream, but when I do, they're nightmares. It's nothing dark like abuse, it's just the way I am. And I figure, if the Terminator came from James Cameron having a nightmare, I've got a gem in here somewhere.
Tonight's was about my characters from a comic book I'm writing, so hooray, that's good. It wasn't in the setting I've created. It was feudal almost, and it was... brutal. I hope I didn't make any noise, because that would have woke up my roommate. It dealt with homosexuality and abuse, and then at the end the main character went mad and stomped on a newborn, to death. I've never imagined something like that before, but last night I saw it. Some would say it's the maternal part in me, but I would just say I'm human-- that I was deeply disturbed. It was hard to go back to sleep, I could still hear it screaming.
In other, not disturbing news....
Script work is coming along. I'm going to back to the basics and drafting up new character bios and maybe sketching out a rough treatment before I go back into full force. I've got a few tricks up my sleeves for making this redesign of characters simple. It should be a cinch.
Later!
